  • Guide to ride new bikes for Newbies

    Hello,

    I searched to find any existing threads regarding this, I couldn't find it. Everyday there are a Newbies buying a new bike and face difficulties like me. It would be very helpful if experienced riders like you guys guide us. And I hope this get approved.

    Today I booked a Pulsar 135LS, this is my first bike. Even though I know to ride bikes which I have done by riding for short distances of my friends and uncles, I am skeptical regarding the use of new bike.
    1. Can anyone explain me in detail as how a new bike needs to be rode?
    2. What are the things to be taken care of and what are the things to avoid?
    3. How to ride more efficiently?
    4. Like when do I switch gears for short rides and long fast rides ?
    5. What is the RPM I should maintain for a new bike?
    And all other necessary details which I might not even heard off!!

    This would be very helpful

    Kindly help me in this regard. I would be very thankful

    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      Great choice of bike for a new rider. This is a great place to post your questions. There are a lot of members with tons of knowledge and experience. Let's talk about :
      * First you read your state's motorcycle safety and law information.
      * And than you read a book called Proficient Motorcycling.
      * If you would add your location to your profile, another member of the forum might be in your area and happy to assist you.
      * RPM usually stands for Revolutions Per Minute. Typically you'll find it on motorized vehicles where it tell you how fast the crankshaft of the engine is turning.

        You all questions seems same to me

        Don't pull the RPM much, don't stress on the bike till the first service atleast, better try to avoid pillion too & tripple-seat only if you don't love your bike and don't care for its long life.
        Believe me, don't give bike to friends or other. Every devil mind want to throttle up a new bike & that's not good for it.

        Don't cross 4000 - 4500 RPM till 1st service.
        Press full clutch while shifting gear, you maybe riding old bike where half clutch for gear shift is fine.

        Remember the vroom vroom old bike people keeps on doing when they stop on a red light or somewhere ?
        Because their bike may go Off, but yours won. So don't do it.
        Just leave the throttle & you it will be On for you.

        Guys / friends & kids may motivate you to throttle up or to do a timepass vroom vroom drag.
        Avoid it, new engine is bike a Baby, care for it.


        Its as simple as that buddy
        "Ride hard now & Pay later
        Care like a baby now & Enjoy later"
        First I was Scared But then We Made a Deal
