Congratulations on becoming the owner of a brand-new two-wheeler! Now that you've become the owner of a new motorcycle, there are few things that you need to do immediately after the purchase. This will ensure that you say safe and comfortable during your rides enjoy the joys of motorcycling! Let's get started.
Get branded riding gearsDon't depend on the free helmet that you got from the motorcycle dealer. This is usually of very basic quality, which is simply fine for basic requirements, but if you intend to use the helmet daily for your office or school commutes, or to go on long distance tours on the motorcycle, you will need something better and more effective such as a branded full face motorcycle helmet with the latest safety and comfort features. Good quality brad-new motorcycle and two-wheeler helmets cost somewhere around rupees 800 to rupees 2000 depending on the features you opt for. Do not cut corners on the purchase of a motorcycle helmet because this is the most essential riding gear that you will need in order to stay safe. Install aftermarket headlightsMost commuter 2 Wheelers do not have adequate headlight switch may not be sufficient for going on long distance stores across rural countryside trips. We highly recommend that you take a look at the aftermarket options and install at least a few highway headlights so that you can get better visibility even when there are no street lights. While installing aftermarket headlights be sure not to go for flashy over the top options which create distraction for oncoming traffic, rather than choose some sensible options that will help you in seeing the road better rather than irritating other motorists. Upgrade the rear-view mirrorsDoes the rear-view mirror give you a good view of what's behind you? One of the most unfortunate things many people do after buying a 2 Wheelers is to remove the rear-view mirror, instead of doing that, we recommend that you get a good pair of rear-view mirrors if the factory installed ones do not provide adequate view offers behind you. The rear-view mirror should be able to see beyond your elbows at other vehicles behind you which will help you in staying safe under road and making sensible Lane change decisions. Reevaluate the ergonomics (and upgrade if necessary)The riding ergonomics of the two-wheeler that you bought must be comfortable for you to stay on it for several hours at an end, especially if you plan to go on long distance commutes or tours once in a while. Riding ergonomics is the combination of the hips the wrists and the knees when you were seated on the motorcycle. Check the height of the seat before buying a motorcycle, but if you have already bought a motorcycle with a high seat configuration, you can easily take it back to the dealer and have the seat height reduced. There are also other things that you can do with aftermarket installations which will make your riding ergonomics much more comfortable and suitable for going on long distance trips. One of the most recommended things that you can do is to raise the handlebar of the motorcycle, and install a pillion rider backrest which will keep the pillion rider comfortable as well. Install visibility aids2 Wheelers are not easily visible, especially when the visibility conditions become bad after sunset. To be safe on a motorcycle always assume that people cannot see you and do everything you can to make yourself clearly visible to other motorists. One simple way is to invest in a branded motorcycle helmet that is of a bright color such as neon green or bright orange, and on top of that you will also need a motorcycle riding jacket in a bright color. Consider installing reflective tapes on the surface of the motorcycle which will make it clearly visible for other motorists even when it is dark.
