For some motorcycle consumers, one of the features that the weight of the foot is worn is an important stand, another name for the middle standard. Heavy and a little burdensome in operation, is one of the reasons this feature is not often used, especially by women.
In everyday life, motorcycle owners use more standard side stands or side stands for parking because it is easier.
But please note, on some types of motorcycles, the side mount is equipped with a safety feature called Side Stand Switch.
This feature appears to provide security for the helmsman if he does not remember to return the side stand to its original position when the motor is running.
“All types of Honda automatic motorcycles are currently equipped with the Side Stand Switch feature. This will provide a sense of comfort and minimize the potential for accidents when the motorcycle is automatically running but only assisted by side standards. Because in this position the return tire is on the track, so it will be very risky if someone plays the gas handle,” said Ade Rohman, Sub Department Head Technical Service of PT Daya Adicipta Motora.
For Ade Rohman, an important stand is a very meaningful part because it plays a role in supporting the total weight of the means of transportation in a balanced way when the back chakra is lifted.
“However, if there is sediment, dirt and raindrops, it can cause problems with the middle standard or jam that cannot be used,” he said.
If the main stands don’t work well, there are a few things the owner should try. For example, using the main stand every day, this will remove the ability of rust that adheres between the shaft and the main stand pipe.
“As a result, in the long term, the main stand will always function properly and minimize congestion due to rust between the main axle and the main stand,” said Ade.
After that lubricate the important stand shaft in an orderly manner. It is very important to try to avoid rust between the shaft and the main stand pipe.
Lubricated Parts
Good lubrication is tried by positioning the motorcycle on the side stand switch, lubricating the main seat axle from the right, and lubricating it can use a penetrant or chainlube solution that has a good level of lubrication.
Do it regularly every month or after washing or after crossing a path that is exposed to rain and flood water.
It should be noted, at this time the main stand is equipped with a feature that allows movement between the shaft and the main stand. This has several advantages compared to the previous generation, including the main stands can support transportation equipment perfectly, and there is a division of movement between the main axles and stands.
After that, there are signs of congestion when rust begins to appear on the main stand pipe, motorcycle consumers can identify early if there are signs of damage, and the conclusion is that there is no rust on the main stand pipe with proper maintenance with the smooth movement of the main stands.
