Be sure about your visibility and do not ride with the
blind spot of vehicles or obstruction ahead you.
Take additional care at road junctions, exits of private
land, car parks and on the service roads to highways.
Before changing the lanes or take a turn, look over
your shoulder and make sure that your way is clear.
Do not completely rely on the rear view mirrors; you
may misjudge a vehicle’s distance and speed, or you
may not see is at all.
Always use turn signal lamps when you intend to
change lanes or take a turn. Be sure to switch it off
after changing the lane or negotiating the corner.
The rider should keep his/her foot on the footrests
while riding the motorcycle.
Always hold the handlebars firmly with both hands in
order to be ready for sudden changes of direction or
in the road surface.
Under no circumstances should both the hands be
removed from the handle bar, as it is very dangerous.
While riding in wet conditions, on loose gravels, the
ability to maneuver the vehicle will be reduced. Ride
smoothly on this conditions. Sudden acceleration,
braking or turning may cause loss of control.
On the wet roads, rely more on the throttle to control
vehicle speed and less on the front and rear brakes.
Use the throttle judiciously to avoid skidding the rear
wheel from too rapid acceleration or deceleration.
On the rough roads, exercise caution, slow down and
grip the fuel tank with your knees for better stability.
To get quick acceleration during overtakes, shift to a
lower gear to obtain the necessary power.
Do not downshift the gear abruptly at high rpm to
avoid damage to the engine due to overreving.
Avoid unnecessary weaving for the safety of both the
rider and other motorists.
While riding on uphill, shift to a lower gears so
that there is plenty of power to spare rather than
overloading the engine.
Do not downshift the gears in the midst of cornering.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a
corner.
Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brake.
Progressive application of brake is safer. Never
depress the clutch lever while braking at higher
speeds.
