We all know that rust is caused by moisture and oxygen. Rain and snow can lead to rust, especially if you leave your bike outside uncovered when it’s not in use. Riding in humid weather makes your bike more susceptible to rust. The chain can rust over even when in long-term storage, so be sure to store your bike in a dry location. Salt water will rust your chain even faster than regular water. The same is true of salty roads after a snow or ice storm.

The best way to prevent motorcycle chain rust is to lubricate your bike. This adds a protective seal to the metal chain so moisture can’t penetrate the surface. You should also get in the habit of cleaning and drying off your metal chain at the end of each ride.

Triumph Motorcycles has launched its most affordable motorcycle in the Indian market, the Speed 400. Popularly known as Triumph 400 among the riders, this new product will be manufactured by Bajaj Auto in Maharashtra, India, and it has been priced aggressively.

The styling cues on this sub-500cc motorcycle comprise a Speed Twin-inspired design. Thus, it packs a round headlight, a semi-digital instrument cluster, a curvy fuel tank with knee recesses, a step-up seat, and a side-slung exhaust. It also boasts the classic Triumph engine profile with a triangle badge, finned cylinder head, and exhaust header clamps. The colour palette, similar to the international market, comprises three options – Carnival Red with Phantom Black, Caspian Blue with Storm Grey, and Phantom Black with Storm Grey.
