24
Q

Build-up areas

A

Areas defined by speed zones of less than 100km/h

25
Personalise your bike
Adjust your bike to your standards - seat, handlebars, any other controls so that you are comfortable and in control
26
Set yourself up
- keep your head up and your line of sight level with the road (your arms shouldn't feel strain from holding up your body) - sit close enough to the handlebars so you can reach them with your arms slightly bent (you should be able to turn the bars without stretching) - hold the handgrips firmly and keep your wrists low with the knuckles at the highest point (gives you good control of the throttle while making it easy to reach the clutch and brake levers) - to maintain posture while braking and absorb shocks from the front end of the bike, your elbows should be slightly bent and tucked in - grasp the fuel tank tightly with your knees to balance the bike and keep control when turning, slowing or speeding up - keep your feet on the footpegs while the bike is moving, ready to use the foot controls
27
Checks - Controls
- brakes should work smoothly (front and rear brakes should each stop the bike when fully applied separately - clutch and throttle should work smoothly and the throttle should snap shut when you let it go - make sure cables are lubricated and there are no visible kinks or broken strands
28
Checks - Tyres and Chain
- check tyre pressures when the tyres are cold (correct pressures should be on a sticker on the bike) - check that the tread depth is more than 1.5mm all over the tyre tread (less than this is illegal and dangerous) - the sidewalls of the tyres should be free of cracks or bumps - make sure the tyre tread is free of cuts, nails or cracks - check that the chain is lubricated and the tension adjusted correctly
29
Tyre Tread
The part of the tyre that makes contact with the surface of the road (the ridges) As the tyres are used, it's worn off, limiting its effectiveness in providing traction
30
Checks - Mirror
- clean and adjust the mirrors before you start | - you should be able to see just past your body, and as much as possible of the traffic next to you and behind you
31
Checks - Lights & Signals
- check that all lights and indicators are clean and in working order - indicators must flash and be bright enough to be seen - the headlight must be adjusted properly so that it is not too high or too low - both low and high beams must work - check that the tail light works, and that the brake lights work when you apply the hand and foot brakes - test the horn
32
Checks - Fuel & Oil
- check the fuel level and don't ride with the fuel tap on reserve until it is necessary - check the oil level as the engine could seize if it drops too far (this will do damage to the engine and could lead to a crash)
33
Fuel reserve
A setting that indicates that the level of fuel in the tank is low
34
Checks - Yourself
- check that you are dressed safely and properly - make sure you're fit to ride and not tired or impaired by alcohol or drugs - make sure you are in the mood and have the right attitude (riding while angry or any high emotional state could make you careless or aggressive) - decide when to ride and when not to ride
35
Checklist (simple)
- brakes are working - clutch and throttle are working smoothly - cables are lubricated - tyre pressures are correct and look for tyre wear - chain is lubricated and adjusted - lights, indicators and horn are working - mirrors are clean and adjusted - there is enough fuel and oil - you are dressed in the right gear - you are fit to ride - your mood and attitude is right to ride safely
36
Looking ahead
- when riding around a corner, try to position yourself on the road so you can see through the corner - xray vision goggles for big things (careful of radiation on eyes) - lean with your bike when you turn (keeping your head up and line of sight level with the road) - when pulling out from the kerb, position your bike at an angle so you can see the traffic in both directions - if you are making a u-turn, have a clear view of traffic in both directions - approach intersections slowly and carefully - watch the road ahead by looking through or over the top of other vehicles
37
Good positioning
-ride in
