Vlog: 110cc Motor Kali Bodri Flood Adventure!
Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel! Today, we're diving headfirst into an adventure – a vlog exploring the flooded Kali Bodri area with my trusty 110cc motorcycle. The recent heavy rains have turned the area into a mini-ocean, and I thought, "Why not take my little bike for a swim?" I know, I know, sounds a bit crazy, right? But trust me, it was an experience, and I'm here to share all the nitty-gritty details, the good, the bad, and the slightly terrifying! This vlog is all about my 110cc motorcycle. The area, known as Kali Bodri, is often prone to flooding, especially during the rainy season, and this time, the water levels were seriously high. It was a perfect opportunity to see how my little machine would handle the challenge. I'll be sharing my experiences, giving you a quick review of how the motorcycle performed, and offering some tips on how to navigate flooded areas with your own two-wheeled friend. Let's get this show on the road!
The Setup: Preparing for the Flood
Before we get into the heart of the action, let's talk about the prep work. Because, let's be honest, riding a motor through a flood isn't as simple as just hopping on and going. I took some basic precautions to minimize the risk of damage. First and foremost, I checked the weather forecast. Knowing the water levels and potential for the flood to rise further was crucial for safety. I also made sure my 110cc motorcycle was in tip-top shape. I did a quick visual inspection, checked the tire pressure, and ensured all the vital components were functioning correctly. This included the engine, the electrical system, and the exhaust. Then comes the gear. I wore waterproof boots, a raincoat, and gloves. Trust me, you don't want to be soaked and freezing while trying to navigate the currents. You'll need to wear proper gear when going through the banjir. Remember, safety first, guys! No one wants to end up with a flooded engine or, worse, stranded in the middle of a flood. So, I prepared myself, made sure the motorcycle was ready, and packed some essential tools, just in case. The anticipation was building, and I was ready to take my 110cc through the kali bodri's flood.
Motorcycle Modifications
Let's talk about modifying a motorcycle for a flood. Though I did not modify my motorcycle, it is important to remember what kind of modification is safe for your 110cc motorcycle. You can also raise your exhaust pipe to ensure no water goes in. If you are serious about riding through a flood, consider some basic modifications. Raising the exhaust pipe can prevent water from entering the engine. Installing a snorkel, like a modified air intake, can also help keep water out. You can also seal any electrical connectors with a water-resistant sealant to prevent shorts. Also, make sure that your motor is able to withstand the water current when going through a banjir. Even with these modifications, there is always a risk. That's why I only recommend them if you frequently encounter flooded areas and understand the risks involved. It is essential to ensure that your 110cc is well-maintained to withstand the harsh conditions of flood riding.
The Adventure Begins: Navigating the Waters
Alright, buckle up, because here's where the fun (and maybe a little bit of panic) begins! I arrived at the Kali Bodri and was immediately greeted by a sea of brown water. The flood was much more extensive than I'd anticipated, but hey, that's part of the adventure, right? The key was to stay calm and assess the situation before plunging in. I carefully examined the water depth, looking for any visible obstacles like potholes, debris, or strong currents. My 110cc is ready to go, and I went through the banjir. Then, I chose a route that seemed the safest and most manageable. I started slowly, cautiously accelerating and keeping my feet on the pegs to maintain balance. The first few meters were nerve-wracking. The water splashed up, and I could feel the resistance. But my little motor seemed to be holding its own. The biggest challenge was maintaining a steady speed and avoiding any sudden movements that could throw off my balance. It was like driving through a river, the sensation was both thrilling and a little bit scary. I slowly went through the flood, and the vlog starts here. I'm going to share this vlog with you to give you an overview of how the motor handled the flood. This is my experience using my 110cc in the flood.
The Motorcycle's Performance
So, how did my 110cc motorcycle perform in the flood? Surprisingly well, actually! The engine kept chugging along, and the exhaust didn't seem to be taking on any water. I'll give it a solid 8/10 for its performance, and my motor also seemed to handle the depth of the water well. The tires maintained a good grip, and the bike didn't feel like it was going to be swept away. However, I did notice a slight decrease in power, which is to be expected when the engine is working in such conditions. The electrical system, thankfully, held up. But, I had taken precautions to keep it as dry as possible. I would advise checking the oil after the ride. Water could potentially enter the engine, so it is important to change the oil if you notice any contamination. I'll provide a review of all that I have done here in this vlog, including how the motor handled the flood.
Post-Flood: Damage Assessment and Maintenance
Once I made it through the flood, the adventure wasn't over. The next step was a thorough inspection and some essential maintenance. First things first: I cleaned the motorcycle. Removing any mud, dirt, and debris that had accumulated. I checked the air filter, it may have collected water, and you need to replace it. Then, I checked the engine oil for any signs of water contamination. If the oil looked milky or cloudy, it was time for an immediate oil change. I also inspected the brakes, electrical components, and the chain. Any component that was exposed to the water needed a closer look. Check all the components of your motor! I am also going to share some important tips on how to keep your motor intact after going through the banjir. After a flood, the motor is prone to damage. But, with proper care and attention, you can minimize potential problems and keep your motor running smoothly. I checked the condition of my 110cc to make sure everything was fine. After the flood, I'm sharing some experiences.
Checking for Water Damage
When assessing the damage, the most crucial step is to check for water intrusion. You'll need to inspect several areas of your motorcycle. This includes the engine oil, as water can mix with the oil and lead to internal damage. If the oil appears milky or discolored, it indicates water contamination, and you must change the oil immediately. Inspect the airbox and air filter; they are prone to collect water. Electrical components are also very vulnerable to water damage, so check the wiring harnesses, connectors, and control modules for corrosion or shorts. The banjir can seriously impact the parts of your motor, so it is important to remember those parts. Remove the spark plugs and check for any signs of water. If you find water, try cranking the engine with the spark plugs removed to expel the water. Check the fuel system for water contamination. If there is water, the motor will have difficulty starting or running smoothly. When your motor is in a bad condition, this vlog will show you how to take care of it!
Tips and Tricks: Surviving the Flood with Your Motorcycle
Alright, guys, before we wrap things up, let's go over some handy tips and tricks for navigating flooded areas with your motorcycle. First and foremost, safety first! Never attempt to cross a flood if the water is too deep or the current is too strong. Assess the situation before you proceed. Check the depth of the water, and look for any obstacles or hazards. Choose the right gear. Wear waterproof boots, gloves, and a jacket to stay dry and comfortable. If you think the water is more than your motor can handle, I advise you to use other transportation instead. Maintain a steady speed. Avoid sudden acceleration or braking to maintain control and avoid hydroplaning. After crossing the flood, perform essential maintenance checks. Check the oil, air filter, brakes, and electrical components. These tips and tricks can save your motor from damage.
The Aftermath: What to Do After Flooding
After your flood adventure, there are some maintenance steps you must take to ensure your motorcycle is in good condition. Change the engine oil. Water contamination can cause severe damage. Clean and inspect the air filter. Replace if it's wet or dirty. Inspect and clean all electrical connections. Look for corrosion or damage. Check the brakes, and make sure they're working correctly. Check the chain and sprockets for rust or damage. Lubricate or replace them as needed. Dry and clean the motorcycle thoroughly. Check the tires for any debris that could cause a puncture. Get your motorcycle professionally inspected if you are unsure of anything. These steps are crucial to ensuring your 110cc motorcycle remains in great condition.
