Riding
Before start, look around to avoid accident
• Take back the stander, ride on motorcycle
• Turn on turning light, release brake, make sure it’s safe and then ride.
Warning
Put side stander in original position, if not it will cause accident. Only ride on
vehicle road, if ride on footpath will lead accident. Ride on uneven road in high
speed, will lead rollover and hurt. Don’t ride on grit road, if grit enters in engine
or tire, will cause rollover and hurt. If possible, don’t ride near seaside or
Calcium chloride road, muffler, some other outside parts, and jointing position
are easily rust.
Operation turning
Turning basic principle is combine the centrifugal force and gravitation well to
get balance result.
①Turning throttle grip to original position, using front and rear brakes.
② Lean towards the inner side, keep constant speed riding.
③ Speed up gradually.
Turning reminder
Don’t ride at the inner side of huge vehicle turning area.
Dead angle of sight is the area which the rider can’t distinguish immediately.
Turning distance of front and rear wheels
Turning distance is the front and rear wheels turning distance
It is related with the length of motorcycle.
Speed effect
Centrifugal force increase, one reason is turning radius increase, another reason
is speed. So when turning, keep low speed and close inner side.
Postulate of brake (friction)
Use the friction between tire and road surface. Brake distance: Because of the
friction reduce, at wet road should increase 1.5 times, at ice road should
increase 2 times.
Restrict of Brake effort
After brake, motorcycle can’t stop as once due to the inertia.
Brake method
Turning throttle grip to original position, use engine brake. Let motorcycle
vertical. Use front and rear brake. Impact force is rising as direct proportion
with speed and weight. The force of crash in 50km/h to wall is the same as fall
from 10 meters.
