TECH TIPS
Tech tip #6: Chain and sprockets
Today's chains and sprockets maintain a high standard of quality, and a well-maintained O-ring chain will last 25,000 km, and often more.
Tech tip #5: Biltema's mobile holder
There are a number of different systems for attaching your mobile phone to your motorcycle handlebars, and it is practical for several reasons, and especially if it is used as a GPS. I have tested the simple version, the one you can buy at Biltema for the tidy sum of only NOK 125,-, and which is basically intended for pedal bikes.
Tech tip #4: Lighter clutch on Harley Big Twin.
Harley-Davidson's new "drive package" Evolution 1340 that came in 1984 was a significant boost for the brand. The quality of the new engine was very good, but the clutch could present a challenge. It was heavy to say the least, but now there is a solution for both the Evolution and newer Big-Twins, developed in Norway by Deathtrap -Customs
Tech tip #2: Winter storage and maintenance of motorcycles
October means that the motorcycle season is more or less over, and winter storage of your motorcycle is just around the corner. Before putting it away, there are some maintenance tasks that are worth doing. This will help ensure that your motorcycle is ready to go when spring comes.
Tech tip #3: Motorcycle battery
The battery is a very important component on the motorcycle, and it is good to have some knowledge of the type, function and maintenance. It contributes to good economy, and not least a more reliable motorcycle. Regular check of the condition, as well as correct maintenance, will reduce the risk of power problems.
Tech tip, #1: Motorcycle lifts from Biltema
Motorcycles without a center stand present a challenge if they need to be jacked up from the ground. I have an old Harley-Davidson , and without a center stand, lifting the wheels off the ground has been more of a balancing act. Biltema now has the lift that solves the problem, allowing the bike to stand steady.
