Motorcycles are often not only a means of transportation, but also an opportunity to lift your spirits and just have a good time. But this is only until an unexpected breakdown or accident occurs on the highway, when you have to solve the problem of how to transport the motorcycle to the garage or to the nearest service center. It weighs at least 80-100 kg, so pushing it will be very difficult, if at all possible (depending on the distance to the city, the condition of the road surface).

Specifics of an unexpected motorcycle breakdown

It is important to keep in mind that according to traffic rules it is permissible repatriation on a motorcycle only if it has a sidecar. It is not advisable to transport it in the back of a truck, i.e. you will easily damage the mirrors, fuel tank and other "protruding" parts of the motorcycle. Therefore, the owner can either call repatriation on motorcycles, or to try to fix the problem on the spot. The latter is a little more complicated than with a car.

Motorcycle transportation

What are the characteristics of motorcycle-related problems:

  1. The trunk of a motorcycle has less volume than a car, so it is difficult to carry tools with you.
  2. The failure of two-wheeled vehicles in bad weather means getting wet in the rain or enduring the heat under the bright sun.
  3. Getting into a serious accident often means that the equipment is damaged and can no longer move “on its own”.
  4. Damages that occur as a result of high mileage are also considered relatively problematic. They will have to be corrected at a car service station, in road conditions most problems cannot be solved. Most motor vehicle owners can only solve problems such as finding where to get fuel, how to fix broken plastic so as not to lose parts for later gluing, etc.

Independent methods for solving the problem

Motorcycle repair shop

If there is a knocking sound when the engine is running or when it is running intermittently, you should immediately call a service center (while the motorcycle is still drivable). In the second case, if permanent repairs are not possible, you can try adding fuel to slightly dilute the possibly low-quality gasoline that is causing the engine to stall. If this does not help, you will need to flush the system and adjust the carburetor.

Options for solving problems yourself:

  • The motorcycle is having trouble starting – clean the needle valve on the carburetor chamber, remove and replace the spark plugs, or at least clean their contacts.
  • The impact hammer spring is touching the body – you can determine this by visual inspection and correct the situation by removing the spring with a convenient tool.
  • Weak spark or, conversely, strong sparks after turning on the ignition – the capacitor is damaged and must be replaced.

This is just an example of the simplest faults that can be fixed on the highway, in street conditions. When a tire bursts, a “liquid tire” sealant often helps, pouring it into the tire and quickly closing the holes. It is advisable to check other potential weak points before a long trip. The sequence is as follows: power, brakes, chassis, tires, general fasteners.

Call roadside assistance for transporting motorcycles

In all cases where it is not possible to resolve the problem on site, call roadside assistance of the company Naydenovi Auto for evacuation. The company works around the clock in Sofia and Sofia region (the time for delivery of the car is 30-60 minutes, regardless of the weather). When transporting a motorcycle with repatriation necessary rules such as vertical positioning and securing of the equipment are followed. It is also advisable to disconnect the battery.
