Safety First! Always obey the rules of the road. Obey all traffic signals, signs, and laws. Get in the mindset of “driving” your bike—not just “riding” your bike. This will help you be a more focused and legally compliant bike rider.

Visible Damage Inspect for cracks, dents, or scratches on the shell. Even minor damage can compromise the helmet’s integrity. Interior Wear and Tear: If the inner padding or liner is worn out, compressed, or deteriorating, it won’t offer proper protection or comfort.

Brakes Ensure that the brake pads are not worn down and that the system is responsive. Check for any leaks in brake lines or low fluid levels. Chain & Cables Check the chain for rust or stiffness and lubricate it if necessary. Ensure all cables (brakes, throttle, clutch) are in good condition and move freely.

Maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles to avoid sudden braking and collisions. Stay at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you, and more in adverse conditions.
