POWERHOUSE MOTORS

 Mechanical Repairs

These are parts of the motorcycle which are constantly moving such as the clutch, brake shoes, brake pads and engine parts. Most of these repairs are needed due to wear as a result of friction. They include:
• Gearbox failure
Over time, the parts in the gearbox will be subject to stress and wear. Stripped gears and a broken chain are common. Also, the selector forks can become bent from wrongly shifting gears without holding the clutch. Without these repairs, you will soon find yourself stranded on the roadside.
• Clutch and brake pads replacements
Brake pads often need to be changed, unlike the clutch because of regular use. Clutch failures often result from a broken cable and of course, worn out clutches. Also, if your master or slave cylinders are leaking, the clutch can be rendered useless until repairs are done.

Body maintenance

Body problems will vary depending on the use. For example, dirt-bikes and superbikes need different body work repairs. Some common body problems include;

• Punctured tires
Getting a puncture is mostly out of your control. You might hit a pothole or prick your tires against a sharp object. But most times, regular maintenance such as checking the tires will help avoid this problem.

• Damaged gas tank
If the motorcycle has crashed, you can experience a leak from the tank getting punctured. If a punctured gas tank is not repaired in time, you might need to replace it entirely.

• Dented body work
The same case applies to dents when the bike is crashed. It is nearly inevitable to get a dent. Dents can be fixed if the body is made of metal. If on the other hand, it has fiberglass parts, they need to be replaced.
