Horn And Headlights Care

Whether it is driving at night or trapped in traffic or overtaking vehicles, the most used components are the headlights and horn. Thus, like the other elements of the bike, maintaining the horn and the headlights is also important. It is vital that they be in proper condition before you head out for a ride on the road. Headlights and horn plays a crucial role in road safety.

Headlights include front light, rear lights and indicators and following are the points that need to be considered for headlight-care:

1. As all three headlights are equally important, check working condition of all headlights by turning it on before going out. If any of them do not work or malfunction, get them replaced immediately.
2. If they are in working condition, then check the light intensity. Light intensity can give you clear visibility during night and avoids chances of an accident. If it is not working right, then it can be malfunctioning due to a loose connection or an ineffective bulb. Loose connections can occur while driving on roads with lots of bumps and potholes. Thus, check all wire connections to fix the problem. If the bulb is damaged, then replace it with a new one.
3. Headlights also attract huge amount of dust everyday, which can reduce the light intensity. Hence, for clear visibility, cleaning of lenses is essential. Clean all headlights with a lint-free cloth to make sure the lenses are stain and dust-free.

Along with headlights, give great attention to your motorcycle horn.

1. Accumulation of dust in the horn can affect its sound quality. Use a lint-free cloth to keep the horn clean and dirt-free.
2. Check whether the horn is in working condition. Check all connections of the horn to ensure no loose connections. In case of a damaged fuse, replace the fuse with a new one.
3. Check for its sound quality. If faint noise is coming from horn, then replace it with new one.

Thus the maintenance of both headlight and horn is also required at regular period.
