Before the rains begin, ensure your motorcycle is ready to handle the challenges of the monsoon. Clean the drive chain thoroughly and apply hydrophobic lube every 200–300 km to prevent rust. Inspect brake pads and replace them if the friction material is below 2 mm, as wet roads increase stopping distances. Apply dielectric grease to electrical connectors like spark plug caps and battery terminals to prevent short circuits. Check tyre tread depth (minimum 2 mm) and slightly lower tyre pressure by 1–2 PSI for better grip on slippery roads.
