• Before you go for a ride on a motorcycle whether it’s your own or not but do check the motorcycle wheels at the first. Check the tires for the inflated condition with proper air pressure and minimum tire treads; also confirm the free & smooth rotation of the wheels.
• Check both wheel brakes for workability prior to a ride and do check the control levers pushing twice sitting on the motorcycle seat.
