5 Things To Avoid Doing On New Motorcycle

Motorcycle engines require a break-in period to function properly. Therefore, it's recommended not to use full throttle during this time. This break-in phase usually lasts for the initial 1,500 kilometers. Riders should also vary their speeds and refrain from lugging the engine.

Break-in Period


Consistent maintenance is vital for ensuring your motorcycle remains safe and dependable. It's important to adhere to the maintenance schedule outlined in your owner's manual. This maintenance includes routine oil changes, lubrication of the chain, and checks on tire pressure.

Avoiding Maintenance


Safety should be a top priority for anyone riding a motorcycle. Therefore, riders must invest in essential safety gear such as a helmet, jacket, pants, gloves, and boots for every trip.

Not Investing In Gear


Motorcycles are more susceptible to theft compared to cars. To protect your motorcycle, take precautions like using a disc lock, chain lock, or an alarm system. When parking, it's best to seek out a secure, high-traffic location.

Parking Anywhere


Riders often lose sight of their limits when they experience the excitement of speed, especially on a new bike. However, it is crucial to ride within your capabilities and avoid taking unnecessary risks.
