After you buy the bike
Don't throw away the manual supplied with a bike.
Stick to Running in period mentioned in the manual as it will help engine performance for the future.
Before starting the bike
Check brake and horn when you start the vehicle and put on the helmet and strap it securely.
See that the light is switched off when you start the bike to avoid bulb blowing off.
After starting the bike
Don't start the vehicle inside the premises and zoom in to the traffic outside to avert collision for yourself and heart attack for motorists already coming from your left.
Wait for the traffic to pass before cutting through to turn right.
Switch on the light if it is night time but not the high beam.
Turning at a corner
Reduce speed, brake, blow horn, signal even if you are turning left at a corner.
Repeat above when turning right at a corner.
Braking
Brake gently with a pumping action than braking at the last moment without reducing the speed and changing gear.
Press clutch while changing gear but not while braking.
At the signal
At the signal wait for the signal light to turn green!
Switch off the bike if the signal counter shows 50.
Even if you don't follow the tip above at least be on neutral as the bike on gear can jump forward if jerked suddenly, a possibility if another motorist decides to apply brake at the last moment.
U-turns
At a U-turn don't turn immediately after the road divider to avoid tight turning.
Switch off the indicator light after turning.
Overtaking
Overtake on the right.
Blow horn and let the motorist in front know that you are overtaking.
Don't try to overtake on the right a vehicle which has right indicator on.
General
Let the others know that you are on road by horning when over taking and at night by not wearing black/dark dress and not using a black helmet.
Use common sense and don't let other motorists' behaviour turn you into a law breaker!
Drive with confidence and a smile!
