With the arrival of the first warm days, the long-awaited season begins again for motorcyclists. After the winter break, it's crucial to get your motorcycle in top technical condition. High-quality lubricants play a key role in this process. As an internationally established brand, MANNOL offers reliable solutions for maintenance, protection, and performance.
A Systematic Start to the Season
After extended periods of inactivity, structured maintenance is crucial to ensuring a motorcycle's performance and longevity. In particular, engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant should be checked and changed as needed. The chain and drivetrain also require special attention, as they play a key role in ensuring safe power transmission. Modern lubricants from MANNOL provide reliable wear protection and support the long-term, flawless functioning of all relevant components.
The process begins with internal engine cleaning using MANNOL Motor Flush 9900. Deposits and residues in the oil circuit are effectively dissolved, preparing the system for the subsequent oil change. A high-quality engine oil such as MANNOL 7812 or MN7202 should then be used to ensure reliable lubrication under all operating conditions. Additionally, the MN9830 Ceramo Motorbike additive can be used to reduce friction and sustainably minimize wear in the engine.
The suspension also deserves special attention: MANNOL Fork Oil 10W 8303 ensures consistent fork damping performance, which directly impacts riding comfort and control. MANNOL Lithium Spray 9881 is ideal for moving parts and mechanical connections — it protects against corrosion, reduces friction, and ensures long-term smooth operation. Finally, the drive chain should be treated with MANNOL Chain Lube 7901 to minimize wear and ensure optimal power transmission.
Professional Care for Appearance and Function
Regular and proper cleaning is an essential part of motorcycle care and contributes significantly to maintaining value and ensuring operational safety. To begin with, it is recommended to remove coarse dirt and stubborn oil and grease residues. MANNOL Montage Cleaner 9670 is ideal for this purpose, as it reliably dissolves even heavy soiling. Areas at risk of corrosion can then be specifically treated with MANNOL Rust Dissolver 9932.
MANNOL Universal Cleaner 9972 is ideal for cleaning paint, plastic, and other surfaces. Specifically designed for heavily soiled rims, MANNOL Rim Cleaner 9975 effectively removes brake dust and road grime. MANNOL Glass Cleaner 9974 ensures clear visibility by cleaning windows and mirrors without leaving streaks. The process concludes with MANNOL Micro Fiber Polish 9814, which ensures a clean finish and enhances the appearance of the surfaces.
Technical Check for a Safe Start to the Season
In addition to using suitable lubricants, a comprehensive technical check is recommended before the first ride. This includes checking tire pressure and the general condition of the tires to ensure optimal handling and safety. Brakes should also be checked for proper function and wear. It's also important to check the lighting: headlights, turn signals, and taillights must work perfectly. The battery should also be checked, especially after long periods of inactivity. Finally, a short test ride is recommended to identify any potential issues early on.
