Keep Scooters and Motorcycles Moving
Whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating city streets, maintaining your motorcycle or scooter is key to ensuring smooth rides and a long-lasting machine. One of the easiest and most effective ways to keep your ride in top condition is by regularly lubricating its moving parts. Gear Hugger Multipurpose Lubricant is the perfect solution for keeping your motorcycle or scooter running smoothly, all while being eco-friendly.
Why Lubricating Your Motorcycle or Scooter Matters
Motorcycles and scooters are exposed to a range of elements, including dust, rain, and road debris, which can cause friction and wear over time. Regular lubrication:
- Reduces friction to ensure smoother performance, especially in moving parts like chains, cables, and levers.
- Prevents rust and corrosion caused by moisture and exposure to the elements.
- Extends the lifespan of key components, saving you costly repairs down the road.
How to Apply Gear Hugger Multipurpose Lubricant
-
Clean the Area First
Before applying lubricant, clean off any dirt, grime, or old lubricant to allow the new application to work effectively. Try using Gear Hugger Heavy Duty Degreaser. -
Spray and Work It In
Shake the can of Gear Hugger Multipurpose Lubricant and spray a light coat onto the moving parts. For chains, sprockets, and cables, apply a small amount and work it into the components. -
Test the Movement
Move the parts (such as the throttle, brake lever, or kickstand) to ensure the lubricant has been evenly distributed and is working effectively. -
Wipe Away Excess
Use a clean cloth to wipe away any excess lubricant, preventing dirt and debris from sticking to the lubricated parts.
Where to Use Gear Hugger Multipurpose Lubricant on Your Motorcycle or Scooter
-
Chain and Sprockets
One of the most important parts to maintain on a motorcycle or scooter is the chain. Apply Gear Hugger Multipurpose Lubricant to the chain and sprockets to reduce friction and prevent rusting. This helps improve performance and prolongs the life of the chain. -
Cables and Levers
Whether it’s the throttle, clutch, or brake cables, they can benefit from regular lubrication to ensure smooth movement. Spray a light coating of Gear Hugger lubricant along the cables and levers, making sure to work it in to reduce stiffness and prevent wear. -
Kickstand and Foot Pegs
Lubricate your motorcycle’s kickstand and foot pegs to prevent squeaks and ensure they move easily when you need them. This can make getting on and off your bike a smoother experience. -
Brake Pedal and Gear Shift Lever
These moving parts can wear out over time, especially if they’re not regularly maintained. Use Gear Hugger to keep the brake pedal and gear shift lever operating smoothly, ensuring responsive braking and shifting. -
Throttle Mechanism
A sticky throttle can make for an uncomfortable and unsafe ride. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the throttle mechanism to ensure it moves freely and smoothly.
