SAFE RIDING TIPS
Posture
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture:
1. Keep your elbows inside close to the body and kept
flexible.
2. Hold your arms at an angle of about 120°.
3. Hips should be in a position so that arms and shoulders
are relaxed.
4. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
5. Relax to guard against a sudden impact.
6. Hold the tank tightly with knees.
7. Point the toes straight ahead.
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
shorter the radius of the corner, the greater it becomes.
During cornering, reduce speeds so as to lessen the effects
of centrifugal force. By all means, avoid abrupt application
of brakes or sudden steering.
SAFE RIDING TIPS
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.
Warning
Warning
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 become
thoroughly familiar with the operation of the vehicle.
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 depress the clutch lever while braking at higher
speeds.
5.
Apply both the brakes.
6.
Riding down hills and while cornering, 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.
