What should you do before starting your motorcycle?

Performing a safety check before starting your motorcycle is essential to ensure that the bike is in good working condition and safe to operate. This pre-ride inspection typically includes several important aspects:

1. Tires: Checking tire pressure and tread depth can prevent issues such as blowouts or loss of traction, which are critical for safe riding.

2. Brakes: Ensuring that both front and back brakes are functioning well is crucial for safe stopping and maneuvering.

3. Lights and Signals: Verifying that all lights (headlights, taillights, brake lights) and turn signals are operational enhances visibility and communication with other drivers.

4. Fluids: Checking oil and other fluid levels can help prevent mechanical failures during your ride.

While adjusting mirrors and putting on your helmet are also important parts of preparing to ride, they come after a complete safety check. Social media has no relevance to motorcycle safety and should not be a priority before starting your ride. Prioritizing a thorough inspection ensures you can identify potential issues that might otherwise jeopardize your safety on the road.
