Tips Menjaga Ban Sepeda Motor Tetap Awet
« on: August 21, 2005, 12:44:30 PM »

Ban, piranti yang memegang peranan vital pada sepeda motor. So merawat si bundar ini sudah pasti menjadi ritual wajib bagi pengendara sepedamotor, selain sebagai penghematan, merawat ban dengan benar juga turut menjaga keselamatan pengendara maupun penumpangnya.
Tekanan udara ban yang tak tepat sangat mempengaruhi keseimbangan dan stabilitas laju sepeda motor. Jangan pernah memakai ban lain kecuali yang ditetapkan oleh pabrikan sepeda motor karena fungsi ban yang sangat vital bagi sepeda motor Anda perlu mengetahui penyebab kerusakannya seperti:

Ban bocor

Periksalah apakah pentil ban mengalami kebocoran. Untuk memeriksanya lepaskanlah tutup pentil dan taruhlah air sabun di atas lubang pentil. Bila air sabun membentuk gelembung udara, bisa dipastikan pentil tersebut bocor. Bila bocor keraskanlah pentil tersebut dengan memakai alat pengencang pentil yang ada di tutup pentil. Tetapi bila masih bocor, pentil tersebut rusak dan harus diganti dengan yang baru. Periksalah apakah ban terkena paku atau benda-benda tajam lainnya.

Ban aus secara abnormal

Periksalah apakah tekanan ban sudah benar. Jika telapak atau tread ban telah aus, ban mudah tertusuk dan rusak. Tekanan ban harus disetel supaya sesuai beban pada sepeda motor. Jangan sampai sepeda motor dibebani berlebihan karena dapat menyebabkan ban cepat rusak.

Ban berputar tak teratur

Periksalah apakah ban berputar sudah seimbang dan periksa apakah jari-jari telah dikencangkan secara benar? Tak ada salahnya juga anda mencermati dan memperhatikan hal berikut:

Perhatikan kapasitas muatan sepedamotor Anda meskipun kecepatan sepedamotor juga ambil peranan penting dalam hal ini. Sesuaikan ban dengan kondisi jalan yang dilewati.

Tekanan

Periksa secara rutin tekanan angin (baiknya setiap hari pada saat udara dingin). Samakan tekanan angin antara yang depan dan belakang. Sebab laju sepedamotor yang tidak seimbang berbahaya sekali buat mengendarai dan pengereman.

Jarak tempuh

Periksa jarak tempuh dan sisi luar ban, untuk menjaga keselamatan. Setiap 10.000 km keseimbangan dan kelurusan ban harus dicek. Apalagi bila sering digunakan dengan kecepatan tinggi. Lakukan rotasi diantara kedua ban. Sebaiknya gunakan ban dengan diameter yang ditentukan dari standar sepedamotor Anda.

Selain jarak tempuh, suhu dan cuaca juga mempengaruhi keawetan ban juga. Kondisi jalan yang panas pada musim kemarau menyebabkan usia ban bertambah lebih pendek dibandingkan musim hujan. Selain itu cara mengemudi dari pengendara juga bisa mempengaruhi keawetan ban tersebut. Cara memulai jalan yang mendadak dan pengereman mendadak, berpengaruh besar dengan keawetan ban.

Demi keselamatan, kenyamanan dan keawetan usia ban cobalah selalu menjalankan sepedamotor Anda dengan baik dan benar.
