As much as your helmet is important to your safety, your bike has the same importance too. There are lots of measures you can take to be sure that your motorcycle is prepared for the ride. You should begin by reviewing your owner's manual to familiarize yourself with the details that you will need to maintain your bike.
Bikes should be checked and inspected more often than other vehicles. Examine your tires first and foremost. If there is foreign stuff lodged in your thread or deep abrasions in your tires, you could be at risk for any sort of accident. Also, keep an eye on your tire pressure with your own gauge. Gas station gauges can become unreliable because of the frequency of which customers use them; you can always go to your favorite motorcycle superstore for your bike's supplies.
Test out your controls, lights, turn signals, horns, and mirrors to be sure they are in working order. Keep an eye on your oil, gasoline, and coolant; low levels of these fluids might cause your motorcycle to arrive at an unexpected stop.
Test your braking system as you drive to make sure they're functioning properly.
Once you're on the highway, visibility is key. Utilize your headlights both during day time and night time. Use turn signals whenever you change lanes or turning. Try to avoid positioning yourself at the rear of large vehicles or in other vehicles' blind spots. Should not be afraid to sound a few beeps from your horn to let other drivers discover where you are either, in particular when they are becoming too near to your bike. A number of auto accidents occur mainly because drivers do not pay attention to motorcyclist. Remain watchful for probable problems and ride defensively.
If you're traveling in traffic at speeds under 40 mph, keep a two-second gap between you and the vehicle before you. But, if you're on open road like the highway, you may broaden that distance to several seconds, based on your pace.
When you are moving past other motorists, be smart. Make sure to check out your blind spot for other bigger vehicles, or motorcycles, and be sure you're no less than two seconds at the rear of the car you wish to pass. If you're nearing a turn or maybe a corner, hold back until the road straightens prior to passing another vehicle.
If you love bikes, no doubt you've shared the fun of riding with a family member or friend. Most likely you may have rode as a passenger on a friend's bike yourself. Either way, it is crucial you know how to cope with having a passenger on your own motorcycle.
Ensure your motorcycle is designed and set up to include a passenger. The body weight of an extra rider affects acceleration and speed, stopping, and turning. But if your motorcycle is not made to have a extra load (passenger), those very simple actions can lead to a destructive consequence. To the same effect, take heed to your motorcycle's weight limit.
Don't forget that passing other vehicles will need more time and space, the impact of the wind will be more distinct, and quick stops causes passengers to move forward and bump their helmet with yours.
Finally, inform your passenger of some fundamental safety considerations. Advise them to have their legs away from the exhaust pipe or any other very hot sections of your motorcycle to prevent burns. Teach them to keep unnecessary movement to a minimum, and give them a reasonable amount of time to adapt to the speed of riding and the feeling of leaning as you speed up your motorbike.
Before you go!
Even though cycle gear can be cumbersome, awkward, and intrusive, it is also the one thing that'll protect you from the road during an automobile accident. So please stay safe and ride risk free, happy riding!
