Bridgestone Battlax, rear tire for motorcycle

Bridgestone has brought their performance packed MotoGP motorcycle tire advancements to the streets in the form of the Battlax BT016.
Bridgestone has constructed the Battlax BT016 tire with Mono Spiral Belt (MSB) technology.

The MSB construction is a continuous single strand wrapped around the circumference of the tire, which eliminates overlapping of the belts, seams and joints. What does all this mean? Your motorcycle will be more stable due to less internal heat generation with improved bump absorption.
Bridgestone has focused on all details of the Battlax BT016 including the tread.

The BT016 features L shaped grooves that enhance bump absorption and rear-end steering. Bridgestone also made sure the grooves do not cross to increase high speed durability.

The Battlax BT016 uses HTSPC (High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord), which is a first for a radial motorcycle tire. This technology allows the tire to be more flexible, provides more stability without reduction in bump absorption, and minimizes the generation of heat throughout the tire.

The Bridgestone Battlax BT016 boasts a 5LC triple compound design that provides ideal grip performance that is demanded for all riding styles. The center compound provides good stability. The shoulder compound transfers engine power to the road with strong traction. The edge compound offers strong side grip and solid contact feel at deep lean angles.

The Best Way to Replace Your Vehicle Engine Oil

Of course you know the importance of engine oil for your vehicle, because of it, changing the oil regularly is a must. Therefore, if you have a vehicle, you will often face the problem of changing motor oil regularly.

The best way to replace your vehicle engine oil is do it yourself. Why? Because only you who really care about your vehicle.

What if I can not do it?

Actually it is easy to change the engine oil. If you do not know you could learn from the way the mechanic changed the oil. Just look how he's changing the oil in your vehicle. And then practice at home.

Why would I advise you to change the oil at home

Because of a mechanical repair shop is usually in a hurry in doing the job, especially when being handled a lot of work.

Changing the oil in the correct way is as follows

Start the engine. Preheat your engine for about 5 minutes. After that drain / remove your old oil. To make sure the old oil is all out, do the cranking / turning your machine by using the foot starter several times. (If your vehicle is motorcycle). After that, enter the new oil. Please note, before adding new oil. Bottles of oil should be whipped first. Because there's oil in a thin layer called as "film".

Thin film or layer is useful as a patron at the time of rotating machines and frictions between the metals.

Shake the bottle to mix again with a layer of oil film.
