Installing Tire Rotation Effects Reversed






Jakarta, for tires are directional and asymmetrical than symmetrical pairing rules. Direction indicated by directional arrow-shaped, while the asymmetrical use the words "outside" and "inside". Sometimes there are users who are reckless with the positions of the exterior grounds have been exhausted. Then, what is the effect if it is done? Here's an explanation of the Adang Supandi, Senior Technical Product Manager, PT Gajah Tunggal.
When danger Rain"The move is not justified especially when passing on a wet track. Because it can cause excessive so as to eliminate aquaplanning stability," said Adang. Moreover, he continued, at speeds above 40 kph. Therefore, the development of the tire is designed to remove water. With the inverted condition of the function changed to accommodate the water. As a result, the water will come together and form a layer of water between the tires with asphalt.
Another case when used on a dry track. "In effect, the sound is more noisy friction tires and tread out faster," said Adang. Stability, he had little influence.
Specific ConditionsThere is a theory of Chandra Alim, national rider, around the opposite rotation. "The conditions behind the rotation can help better braking grip," said Chalim, greeting familiar. The information obtained from the mechanical time following the Australian Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
Theory can be done on the rear drive car with a large force. That was only true for the front tires only. "Since when is more gripping effect is reversed when the brakes. With so braking distances can more closely," said Chalim. But, he continued this theory does not apply to car front-wheel traction as a center where to place the burden of gathering."Never once did when the track wet because it will reduce the stability is quite large and can be very dangerous because the car lost control. I do this just for the racetrack, not on the highway.

The chain already Consult your Motor?


Jakarta,  Almost motorcycle chains rarely get care from its owner, whether that condition has been stretched or done lubrication. Except if it is causing friction sound to the ear mengilukan, then brought to the workshop. The second aspect is very important to maintain a longer service life. More importantly to prevent the occurrence of loose or broken chain.
Maintenance is very easy and can be done alone. Following the instructions of Faisal, a senior mechanical Sea Ray Motor, Pondok Labu, Depok.
Lubrication"There are some motors that has its own lubrication and there should always be in check," said Faisal. According to him, checks remain to be done to prevent the sprocket (gear) fast taper. For some motors, if it is less likely to spend pelumasannya noise when the road.
To lubricate the chain, previously clean sand or fine dust using a special cleaning fluid. After that, lubricate, can use a special fluid or engine oil is obtained in the motor accessories store. The way is easy, parking is standard motor with the center, tires rotated and drops (oil) or spray (liquid) on the gear.
FlexibilityChain should not be too tight can cause breaking up, let alone tilted position could erode the eye gear. Instead, slack chain will easily separated from the sprocket. Unfortunately, when released, then the chain swing arm pinned. As a result, rotation of the wheel was stopped, the motor slip.
Chain flexibility ideal distance is about 1 cm. How to check, look for the most tense position at the top of the chain, then play the bottom of the lift. Loosen the bolts enough to adapt and adjust the position of the rear axle via a sign that there is flexibility on both sides. Make sure the distance is the same, then tighten the bolt shaft earlier.
BehaviorThere are two things that can make the chain more quickly. First, do not often do brake suddenly because it can make a quick slack. Secondly, when it did pick up speed smoothly kecederungannya not surprised because the chain tension. If it is too often can be broken.
Consider the life of a way to check the sign on the rear axle that is used to adjust the position of the tension. If you've stuck the sign had to be replaced. "Do not be delayed too long and try to use the original components.
