| I had my second ridding day under the rain and I crash!! Nothing serious. I got up pull on the side (non of the drive came out to make sure I was ok! Hate drivers now ) and started it and on my way home. I broke my foot pad (I’ll use the pillion one to fix it) I need to straight up my front brake handle bar (which was still working) and also fix my mirror. Oh yeah! What happen was that I was approaching a corner a traffic light so I try to avoid the white paint (arrow) but then break a little and kept my hand breaking instead of breaking gradually. Good thing I had my full textile protecting clothing and my head didn’t touch the floor when I crashed so my helmet is ok! lil’ prayer before ridding do help! | |

| Sorry to hear that bro... thats bad news, it seems we are dropping like flys lately in makes me wonder when my turn is coming!
At least you are OK though thats the main thing, the bug can be fixed.
They say theres only 2 types of riders, those that have been down and those that are going to go down... So at least its done now and you have got it out of the way.
The same thing happened to me when i started riding, dust yourself off, learn from it, and carry on..... and continue to say those little prayers before you set off innit! | |

how do I do that?? go to the petrol garage have a look on your tyres and it will have some numbers and the psi next to them front and rear tyres are different. attach the pump to your valve and it will say what pressure your tyre is at now so then pump it up to the required pressure. be warned though it might say when your tyres are cold | |

be warned though it might say when your tyres are cold DO NOT USE THE NUMBERS ON THE TYRE THEY ARE MAX PSI ONLY. your bike is new and came with owners documents. look in there for your tyre pressures. its probably around 26 28 psi. having to much is worse than to less. buy a cheap pump and a digital pressure gauge and check them often. tyres are the single most important part of any bike. they are like your helmet on your head. look after them... | |

I like to take care of them because I'm harsh with my tyres. I like harsh breaking. thinking of this I think I crashed because I break harshky with my rear break. a Very bad habit. | |
