When the rains arrive in Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, roads get slick and bikes take a beating. A few simple checks now can prevent a breakdown later.
**1. Brakes.** Wet pads lose bite. Inspect pad thickness and replace early - see our heavy-duty brake pads built for humid climates.
**2. Chain and sprockets.** Mud packs the links. A quick wash with a high-pressure pump keeps it running free.
**3. Carburetor.** Humidity fouls jets. Keep a carburetor cleaning tool in the shop for fast fixes.
**4. Lights.** Shorter days demand visibility. Check headlight and taillight output before the storm.
**5. Engine breathing.** Replace the oil filter on schedule so the engine stays protected through the wet season.
Ride safe - and keep the right parts within arm's reach.

FAQ
Q: What should I check first when the rainy season starts?
A: Brakes, chain and sprockets, carburetor, lights, and engine breathing - in that order, since wet conditions hit all five first.
Q: Why do brakes lose bite in the rain?
A: Water films the pad surface and cools it below working temperature; inspect pad thickness and fit humid-climate pads early.
