What First-Time Motorcycle Riders Should Avoid

4/23/2019

​You may get the best feeling from finally getting your hands on what you thought was the most perfect bike of all. If you are one who prefers the convenience and challenges of riding a motorcycle, then you should know all the basic things that you need to remember before you decide to twist the throttle. Read this list of things that first-time motorcycle riders should know.
​Look Towards Your Destination
Target fixation will always be the very first problem of many first-time bike riders. You will realize as you mount your bike that you will go wherever you are fixing your gaze upon. Thus, if you’re looking far into the distance to see what is going on, then that is where you are headed. This is very useful especially when you are approaching a corner or when something is trailing behind you. Try not to play “what if?” games if you are still a beginner on the bike or it is going to cost you dearly.

Ride More Defensively Than You Drive
Use your head to signal other drivers where you are going. A simple turning of your helmet to the left will make others think that you are headed there. Be careful of drivers that do not pay attention to your signals such as those who are texting while driving or those not paying attention to the traffic signals. Be alert all the time as you have a much greater risk riding a motorcycle than the one driving a car or truck. That is regardless whose mistake it is when an accident happens. 

Always Remember to Turn Off Your Choke
You need to turn on the choke to prime the engine in order to heat it up after a long time of inactivity. However, do not forget to turn off your choke. Also, there is no need for you to panic in case you forgot to do it. If you forgot to turn it off, that would cause problems in the long run such as wasting gas.

Adjust Your Mirrors Beforehand
You are not driving a car, so you have to adjust your mirrors before you ride. Check their positions and make sure that the mirrors are faced where you can see most around you. For a bike with a center stand, you can do this easily while the mirror is sitting on the center stand. 

Always Perform a Pre-Ride Inspection 
For a shaft-driven bike, there is not much to examine. However, for chain-driven and belt-driven bikes, check the chain or belt if it is in good condition before you drive your bike. If it is not adjusted properly, then it is surely bound to break. Also, check for any fluid or oil leaks. If anything is leaking out, get a professional to fix it. 

Some Final Words
Riding a motorcycle is not just all about the fun and the thrill. You need to make sure that many things are fine before you ride on it. One serious accident is not worth all your effort of buying that wonderful motorbike. If you want to protect your motorcycle from any accidents, it is important to have motorcycle insurance. This can help you in case you have some unexpected accidents on the road.
