Although motorbikes provide numerous benefits, the inherent danger in riding has resulted in motorbikes garnering a bad reputation. Careless and inexperienced riders have exacerbated that reputation. Riders who have years of riding experience take unnecessary risks on the road, sometimes resulting in accidents. When novice riders feel that they got the hang of riding bikes, they do foolish things on the bike that put them in harm's way. To ensure that riders remain safe, we have compiled a list of the biggest mistakes and things you shouldn't do on a motorbike that riders make and do that increase the risk of accidents. 

 

Wearing/Carrying Inappropriate kits

 

We're not talking about heading down there in just a hoody and shorts, we've all jumped on a bike like that to the shop down the road. I’m talking about that time when there is a chance of rain or snow and you have to ride for longer than just going down to the shop.

It's a sure-fire way to get cols and soaked and have a bad time on a bike. Check the temperature, dress properly, and don't let it get too cold for yourself. When you ride a motorcycle, every aspect of your body is utilized. Scientists warn us that when it's cold, our body reacts poorly to orders. From that, we might conclude that we are weaker motorcyclists than we may be when we are frozen to the heart. So take care of yourself when on a motorbike by wearing appropriate kits.

 

Leaving your bike vulnerable.

 

It's like placing a neon sign next to it reading, 'steal me' to leave a bike without a chain or at least a disc lock installed. In a bike thief's (tiny head, they are normally only searching for the simplest bike to grab in the bike-park. All you have to do is find yours less enticing to them than the one beside it. wIt just takes a second to mount a disc lock. Don’t let that second cost you your bike worth a lot of money.  

 

Gliding past your means

 

Your boundaries must be understood first. Many motorcycles can lean to 30 degrees, 1⁄4 mile in seconds, and stop even more easily than the average bike. lThe majority of motorcyclists can never exceed their bikes' limits. Not only that speed limits are major issues among young riders who think riding crossing the speed limit will make them look cool. You should always take care of your safety first and ride within those limits.     

Mixing Substance with riding

 

As demonstrated by bikers who travel to pubs, and other trends in the motorcycle scene, some riders seem to believe they can ride even after consumption of alcohol. After having a drink or two or many, some sports bike riders, especially fairly younger ones, may jump on their motorbikes.

Combined with a reduced sense of inhibition, their reduced talents, which they can not properly assess, can produce an enhanced sense of false confidence. While riders may normally strive to be cautious, anecdotal stories of those who experience the joy of ripping through multiple gears well above 100 mph while intoxicated are not uncommon. So please please avoid drinking and riding.

 

Modifying your bike without knowledge

 

We're not talking about adding a slip-on end or exchanging the indicators for LED here. This is all about brakes, suspension, and engine mods without first having the skills and expertise to adequately conduct the work or understanding how the bike will be influenced by the change.

The appeal of not having to pay costly garage bills is high, but it will cost much more to screw it up and take your bike to a professional to get your job rectified. At least get to come and give you a hand with your most accomplished friend. I would say switch to internet forums, but asking for advice from them, for the most part, transforms into a slanging match between users on who knows best!

 

Braking in curves

 

What motorcyclist did not stop stupidly in the curve one day considering that he was going too hard for this turn (rightly or wrongly)? Admit: you too have foolishly tried to snatch the brake button, assuming it was the only way to get out of it, or on narrow mountain roads or roundabouts. Oh! Wrong! If you fear you are moving too quickly on a curve, the right attitude to take is to watch the exit from the turn... and keep a steady gas stream. Easier said than finished? Undoubtedly. But the look is so motorcycle-saving! Do not underestimate your gaze's intensity. In the direction you want to take, it guides the entire body. The action will just have to be pursued by your bike and you will get out of it without a problem.

Tyres are sometimes the major expense of your car after fuel so ensure you get the full benefit of your investment. It takes good maintenance and treatment to get the best out of your tyres. Once in 4-5 years, you will need a replacement. However, your tyre could easily be ripped down to shreds by the end of that time, if due care was not taken to it.

The following easy tips are not just a way to enhance your tyres' durability but also boost overall fuel economy, driving behavior and, perhaps significantly, your general safe driving.

Monthly check of tyre inflation

Too much-inflated tyres will unexpectedly bounce you around, poorly-inflated tyres cause you to lose handling characteristics and make your fuel expenses even more. What's even worse is that tyres that are significantly poorly-inflated can overheat and burst.

Look for the best pressure for your tyres, front and back. Don’t forget to check your tyres every month. You can even set a reminder if you have trouble remembering it.

 

Check your wheels for balance

When you get your tires rotated, you can also get your wheels balanced. And if you use a two-wheeler then need not do this, you can just do your tyre rotation. There's a heavy spot inside every tire and wheel. None of them is perfect, even though they are completely new. The gap is slight, estimated in 1 to 1⁄2 ounces. But vibration and uneven tire wear can be caused by that slight difference. Using a special device and small weights your technician can stabilize any wheel. As when the tire wears, the weight will need to be shifted or changed. It is a quick, easy cycle that costs far less than a new tire! Please ensure throughout rotation you have the balance of your tires tested and balanced.  

To preserve the life of your tyres, you need to minimize the repetitive and sudden braking. Sudden acceleration also leads to reducing tire’s wear similarly. Standard tyres, not ideal for power slides or burnouts. Even if you are enticed by the scent of burnt rubber, stop any of those gimmicks on your tyres. They put undue pressure on the tyres, reducing life faster than expected.

 

Always carry out pre-travel examinations

Before any ride, this should be something you do. The tires should always be provided with a pre-trip examination of key structures for road preparation. Test the tyre pressure, check at the condition of the tyres, and be prepared to tackle troubles before hitting the roadway to mitigate the damage.

Don't forget to carry a spare tyre!

 

Heavy loads

Motorcycles are light and heavy, and people either slim or obese. We may raise the tension of the tyres to accommodate more weight (within the prescribed edges) understanding this factor. If we add a traveler and a load to it, we should apply further pressure to the prescribed maximum limit to sustain this big load.

Anyway, aim to make the bike as light as possible. The heavier the load is, the more the damage is, so we can obey guidelines like emptying the saddle bars and the top case or removing them if we don't need it. We may also decrease the weight of the unwanted stuff taken from other boxes and the storage of the under the seat.

PETROL VS DIESEL CAR: 5 THINGS TO LOOK BEFORE YOU CHOOSE 

If you practically want to see the planet on a motorcycle, you can. Long-distance motorcycle trips are a genuinely unique opportunity that everybody should try at least once throughout their lifetime, whether it's riding across continents or cruising across the backcountry of your state.

That said, a motorcycle trip involves comprehensive pre-trip preparation and analysis, and when preparing the trip, there are several variables to bear in mind. All you need to know before you hop on a bike and take a ride are these 5 tips.  

Accessories

It is crucial that you equip yourself with the right accessories so that during your journey you remain healthy. Although wearing the jacket and gloves of a biker will help you battle the heat and prevent sweating, so make sure you wear a helmet of decent quality as this can be the difference between life and death.

It's easy, inexpensive to ride a motorcycle and it gives you this amazing sense of independence. A motto that you should always obey when riding a motorcycle is "Safety always comes first." Indeed, safety is the highest priority for motorcycles. Luckily enough, there is plenty of security equipment at your side.

 

Get your bike fit for the long ride.

Preparing your bike includes carefully cleaning it and servicing it as necessary. As soon as it comes to light, you ought to fix any problems you find, such as loose brakes, clutch, or gear. Ensure that the bike has dual sport tires so that all smooth surfaces and unpaved roads are handled with no problem. And that you have properly serviced the bike from a reputable garage to ensure that before you reach the track, it's in top shape.

But during the trip, you can resolve small problems yourself, don't try to tackle any major problems on your own. Still follow competent assistance.

 

Select the Best Bike

One of the most critical elements of traveling by motorcycle is to find the right bike. And your bike needs to be in line with the specifications of your ride.

Your checklist for finding the right bike should concentrate on factors such as mileage, low maintenance and, most notably, a convenient seating position so that after a long ride you do not strain your neck and/or back.

Create a checklist of the specifications and pick a bike that satisfies them. Before heading off, do extensive research to select the best sort of bike for your expedition.

 

Project Your Course

• Know and map to your final destination using GPS or the old-fashion paper map. Decide how long it's going to take to get there, whether that's a few hours or days from now.
• Before riding, be mindful of the weather so you can pack accordingly. Are you going to ride at night, which might require cooler gear for the weather? Or are you riding an errant rainstorm in the spring? Perhaps it is a long day of sunshine in summer? In a matter of minutes, topography over mountain passes will change from hot to cold, so be prepared for changing temperatures.
• If you intend to stay overnight on your journey, prepare accordingly, and get your rooms reserved before you leave. You don't want to ride into a town and know every hotel in town has booked a solid big championship game.
• You should know how long you can travel on a full tank of fuel, and you can schedule your fuel stops ahead of time with that knowledge.

 

Make sure to get enough rest

Riding a bike for extended periods of time has the ability to cause serious back pain and a sprained neck. So make sure you make pit stops at intermittent periods of time between your journey.

For every hour of riding, taking a pit stop for 10 minutes is advised. Make sure you stretch and re-hydrate at that time. In hot weather, long journeys will cause your body to become dehydrated, so you need to make sure you drink water and rest properly throughout your journey.

WHY DOES ONE NEED LIFE INSURANCE?

This is a very difficult question to answer with specificity. All motorcycles aren’t the same. A sports bike, for example, is optimized for speed, while a touring bike is designed for endurance and effectiveness. As a consequence, when it comes to having a facility, they may have very different criteria.

When to give your motorcycle for servicing?

Checking your individual textbook is what you ought to do. Every manual would state that, based on your bike's CC, you need to have the bike tested after a certain amount of kilometers, usually about 4000-6000KM, or at least once a year Even if you don't hit that number before then.

Furthermore, as a rider, how much you take the motor for a tune-up depends on you. On summer weekends, you could only take your bike out for a ride, or you can rely on it virtually every day to get you to and from work.

When you think of moving it to a specialized garage, how much it is used and the lengths it drives can affect it.

 

5 things to avoid severe servicing of your motorcycle.

• Tuning the carburetor every 2 years.

• Flushing the Cooling system every two years if you have a water-cooled engine.

• Changing your oil every 4000-6000 Km or every month. Whichever comes first!

• Lubing the motorcycle chain and checking the pressure on it every 6000 KM or every month. Whichever comes first!

• Checking the tyre pressure every month.

 

Ensuring that the bike undergoes routine servicing should allow for the detection and handling of any possible issues before they become serious. In addition, it is also possible to perform simple maintenance activities including oil replacement, which will keep the wheels working smoothly.

You should look for a dealership where the mechanics are up-to-date on all the new specifications for your particular model while searching for places to take your motorcycle.

Remember to simply take it to the garage and ask if you have any questions about the way your cycle works. The technicians are likely to be able to carry out a complete fault diagnosis for you and help you locate the issue.
