Posture
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Keep your elbows relaxed and flexible.
2. Sit and adjust yourself on seat so that arms and
shoulders are relaxed.
3. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
4. Keep the knees close to the fuel tank.
Cornering
When cornering, centrifugal force works in a direction
perpendicular to the direction in which the vehicle is
moving. Centrifugal force increases in proportion with
speed and the radius of the corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to reduce the
effects of centrifugal force. Avoid abrupt application of
brake or sudden steering by all means.
Braking
For safe riding, it is very important to master the
braking techniques.
1. Close / release the throttle.
2. Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brake.
3. Progressive application of brakes is safer.
4. Never declutch while braking at higher speeds.
5. Apply both the brakes.
6. Do not pump the brakes.
7. Riding down hills, while cornering and wet roads
close throttle and down shift the gear to take
advantage of gearbox and engine which acts as an
additional brake. This will avoid the loss of control
over the vehicle due to over speed.
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands firmly
on the handle bar and both feet securely on the foot rest.
Under no circumstances should both the hands be
removed from the handle bar, as it is very dangerous.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could
lead to fatal accident.
Do not downshift the gears in the midst of cornering.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a corner. If
this is the first time that you are riding a vehicle of this
type, we suggest that you practice on a safe, open area to
thoroughly familiarise with the operation of the vehicle.
