How to keep the automatic motor prime and safe, it’s not enough to change the oil
More comprehensive modern automatic motor maintenance
The more sophisticated the motorcycle technology, the more attention must be paid to its maintenance. If in the past the maintenance was identical to changing the oil and cleaning the carburetor, now modern automatic motors require a much more thorough examination. This is because today’s vehicles have relied on various electronic sensors, injection systems, and engine control computers that work in an integrated manner.
One of the best ways to maintain the performance of a motorcycle is to perform periodic servicing at an official workshop. Mechanics in official workshops have been provided with special training and use modern diagnostic equipment that is able to detect potential damage early on. Through periodic inspections, the condition of the motor can be known more accurately so that if there are components that begin to experience a decrease in performance, they can be handled immediately before developing into bigger damage.
Another advantage is that the entire vehicle service history is well documented. Motorcycle owners can find out when the last service was, what components have been replaced, to the next maintenance schedule. Yamaha also provides the My Yamaha Apps application which is integrated with the official workshop network. Through this application, consumers can monitor the history of vehicle services, obtain reminders of periodic maintenance schedules, and find out the time of replacement of certain components directly via mobile phones. This feature makes it easier for consumers to maintain the condition of their motorbikes without having to remember the service schedule or replacement of spare parts.
In addition to periodic services, the use of original spare parts is also an important factor in maintaining the reliability of the vehicle. Yamaha’s original components have been designed according to the character of the engine so that it has a level of compatibility and durability that has been tested. On the other hand, the use of artificial or non-standard components often creates new problems because the specifications and quality of the material are not appropriate. To help consumers get the right spare parts, Yamaha also provides the Yamaha Catalogue Part application. Through this application, users can search for component numbers, ensure their suitability with the type of vehicle, as well as know the estimated price before coming to the workshop. This step is also one way to avoid the circulation of fake spare parts that are still found in the market.
Engine maintenance also cannot be separated from the selection of the right oil. The use of oil according to the manufacturer’s specifications plays a role in maintaining optimal engine lubrication, reducing friction between components, and helping to maintain fuel efficiency. Especially for premium scooter lines such as Xmax, Nmax, Aerox, and Lexi, Yamaha recommends using the Yamalube Turbo Matic because the formula is adapted to the character of the latest generation Blue Core engine that has high performance.
With a combination of periodic services, the use of original spare parts, oil that meets specifications, and the use of digital services, vehicle owners are considered to be able to maintain optimal motor performance while minimizing the risk of electrical disturbances or damage to electronic components. Correct care not only makes the motor more durable, but also provides a sense of security and comfort every time it is used.
