Riding a motorcycle for the first time

[Shining Wizard]

i have bought a motorcycle and want to learn how to ride properly and safely what i have seen from the internet you can only get safe riding tips and pre-cautionary measures not full riding skills and tactics what is my problem i become confused when my bike gains sufficient speed and momentum it feels like outta control but it has not crashed yet infact while riding on slow speeds it feels comfortable to me

 

[Black CoBra]

ride slow bro, you'll get more comfortable with the passage of time

 

[AdamenTaha]

try to learn by maintaining the speed in a ground, took me one month to get the hang of it, best of luck (Y)

 

[mostwanted]

Keep it slow arround 40 speed. Thats how u will get control of the bike. And besides its not a good idea to go above 50 soeed on a bike. And always always wear helmet.

 

[bravoguy]

Drive Safe...........

 

[mohsinmk]

play safe dont exceed 40 thats it wear helmet everytime!

 

[mave3]

Yeah bro...its always better being safe then sorry..
Bike is a not a mazak wali ride.
u have to be very careful...and do wear a helmet...!!!

 

[Hassan0668]

Practice bro practice.. its all muscle memory.. just ride slow now.. if u are purely new to this ride below 30.. when u get hang of this.. slowly start increasing ur speeds and dont rush.. you will be just fine

1st. open ground/park mein ja kar bike chala sekho, road per tab ana jab fully trained ho jao.. u know aap theek chala rhay hotay ho lekin kabhi kabhi koi dusra ap ko disturb kr deta hai, main road per bari bari film chal jati,
2nd. darna mana hai confuse ho kar kabhi bhi bike nahi chalti
3rd. kabhi kisi k sath race nahi lagana chahay koi jitni marzi ungal kare.
4th jab koi police wala nakay per haath de toh foran ruk jana, aaj kal peechay se fire mar detay hain, unka kuch nahi jana apki band baj jani,
5th bike per kabhi bhi empty pocket kahin nahi jana, aksar tyre puncher hojata hai ya petrol muk jata hai, ya phir polcia ko hi dene par jatey hain :/

Don't listen to people who tell you that you have to fall (or will fall) to become experience rider.

You need to do following.
1. Get a helmet. Always wear it when you are riding your bike.
2. Install rear view mirrors.
3. Right after fajar prayer,go out on road for a test drive. Do this daily. That's the best time to learn riding, because you learn the most at that time and the roads are empty.
4. Don't try to go in high gears. Don't stress low gears. Remember, bikes tyres will have best traction when you are in low gears. This will make controlling your bike very easy.
5. Don't brake while holding clutch. This will cause the bike to slip or lose traction.
6. Use both front and rear brakes. Never use one alone.
7. Optimum tyre pressure is very important. Rear the chain cover for manufacturer recommended. Do not listen to those tyre shop wala ustaads.

The more you'll ride, the more experienced you'll become. Go to long tours occasionally.

Take it slow. You'll get used to it when you'll get a feel for your ride.

First of all, don't be scared. Otherwise you'll face much troubles. I wanted to ride bike for ~3 years, to be sure I slipped along with 2 different ones who were trying to teach me how to ride that lol. Then in last Dec I purchased my own & went into a ground with my elder brother, In start he was sitting behind me to teach me things but soon we realized that I'm unable to handle it, so he took off & let me ride that alone & yeah I did that, Rode in that ground for 3 days & then in road carefully

Tips:
Use helmet.
If you're unable to handle in 1st gear then do it in 2nd gear.
If bike switching off frequently then slightly increase accelerator from carborator (that will help you).

remember to hold your horses when learning.
i rode a bike for the first time, i was not able to hold my horses and it shooted up. ALLAH ka shukar hai tangay bari thi to tango se ghasetey hue roki, ALLAH ne bachaya warna to gaya tha men.. uskey baad mene kaha gari hi sahi hai bhai

personally id prefer a bicycle on a bike any day of my life when comparing with the benefits.

ahtyat se chalana beta, i have seen bike accidents. ALLAH aman me rakhe

 

[Cerberus]

Get on the track, you will learn yourself

 

[HAMMER of THOR]

i don't know how to ride one... i will get a chopper style bike in the future in shaa ALLAh and by then i hope to get the riding part down... the gears and stuff of car is much easier to learn as far as i can tell...

 

[yasirshafiq]

You must have control on brakes. Drive slow and safely. Dont panic,

 

[Blastwave]

Don't be an asshole and that's that.

Footpaths are for PEOPLE and roads are for vehicles.

You are not magically visible at night, make sure your tail light works fine.

LANES are there for a reason. Don't cut through lanes.

from the looks of it, i think you got the balancing part, which is good. now for the next part, keep in mind the following things:
1. Wear Helmet (its not just bcuz you are required to wear it but YOU DEFINITELY NEED ONE) i cant remember the number of times my helmet blocked small debris from hitting my face and its the EXTREMELY helpful on RAINY DAYS.

2. Start using side view mirrors, becuz once u get used to them, you'll have a better chance at avoiding the Michael Schumaker trying to overtake you from behind.

3. Start Slow and keep it that way for a minimum of 3 months of regular (4 to 5 times a week) drive. and you'll feel yourself the driving confidence building inside you.

4. Dont pay any heed to the "ROAD DUEL STARTERS" who come up from behind and suddenly start going full Fast and furious, thinking you'll do the same.(this is not so uncommon now, every other driver is pissed nowadays and whenever they see someone taking it slow they try to start a F$@King World War then and there).

5. Obey by the rules, and dont give a single F$#K to the "ALEXANDER THE THIRD" standing behind you (blowing the horns to assemble his armies) on red light trying to cut through.

And finally, KEEP CALM. and you should be just fine. Have safe trips...(2t)

thank you guys all for those suggestions greatly helped me to learn riding skills currently i am practicing the of use clutch and throttle properly so that i would over come jerking and stalling of the bike frequently in lower speeds

i want to increase the idle speed of my bike i saw there some screws mounted on the carburetor but don't know what exactly is intend for increasing up the idle speed

 

[SIBZ]

on the carburetor there will be a screw with a 'spring' on it.. try moving(screwing) it, either towards the front wheel or the back, while the bike is in start condition. You'll see the idle revs going up and down.....

p.s it can be done by hand as the screw is not that tight
