2022-02-10

As the saying goes, "the road is like a tiger's mouth", the situation on the road changes rapidly. Even if the novice riders have already experienced the trials in the school, if they fail to maintain their concepts after going on the road, or are tense for a while, they will be prone to different operating errors. Today, Helmet King will mention to everyone, the six common operating mistakes that novices of Boche have. If you are a knight who is starting to go on the road, or you have friends who have passed the Yanyan test, remember to share today’s article with them! Veteran riders can also take this opportunity to test whether their driving concepts are completely correct!

Start off

Turning off the engine at the start is the most common mistake for novices to make, especially when the engine is turned off at traffic lights, the pressure brought by the vehicles behind is definitely not trivial. nightmare. Faced with the problem of stalling at the start, novice riders can practice more in a safe open space, master the "half-clutch" point of their car more, and use accelerator assist when they are not familiar with the practice at the beginning. You must know that the engine stalling at the start is the only way for every rider. In case of the embarrassing situation of the traffic lights stalling at the start next time, the first thing to do is to keep calm, so as not to panic and lead to more mistakes. When necessary, you can signal to the rear with dead lights or hand gestures to avoid collision accidents.

In addition, many riders are worried that the setback caused by the flameout at the start will cause the car to fall, so the psychological pressure is even greater. But in fact, as long as the body is kept vertical and the motorcycle is started upright, even if the motorcycle stalls at the start, the body is not easy to tilt, resulting in a crash accident. Keep this in mind the next time you practice. There are also some models on the market that are equipped with a sliding clutch, or even a start assist system, which can effectively reduce the chance of misfires at the start. If this problem really bothers you for a long time, you can consider related models.

Looking only at the front of the car or the dashboard

In the school, the driving distance is shorter and the speed of the car is slower, so when in the school, the knight's sight is usually concentrated not far in front of the car, or even the dashboard. However, the speed of the vehicle on the road is fast. Sometimes when encountering a high-speed straight road such as Route 3, if the line of sight is still only focused on the dashboard or not far in front of the vehicle, it may cause danger. Extending the line of sight helps the rider to obtain more information , such as whether there is a traffic accident ahead, whether there are unknown obstacles on the road, the distance to the next corner, etc. Knowing this information in advance is very important for driving safety. very important. The next time you go on the road, try to keep your eyes far away and minimize the number of times you check the dashboard. After all, the situation on the road changes rapidly, and unexpected situations may occur every second when you leave the road. After long-term practice, looking far away will definitely improve your driving skills and make your handling more stable.

Throttle Control

Throttle control can be said to be the most seemingly simple, but also the most unfathomable knowledge. At the beginner stage, because the motorcycles they come into contact with have low displacement and low horsepower, novice riders often don’t have much “fear” about the accelerator. However, seasoned riders know that when a car with a large displacement accidentally opens the accelerator all the way, the sudden horsepower will startle him, or the torque output will be too large, and the front wheel will directly rise. The rider is not mentally prepared The car may be injured. Therefore, novice riders can practice more delicate throttle operation, avoid the two situations where the throttle is only fully open and fully closed, and increase the fineness of throttle control. When novice riders are not yet familiar with throttle control skills, if they have a chance to encounter a car with a larger displacement or stronger horsepower, they can make good use of different driving modes (such as wetland mode, etc.), and avoid directly using sports, racing, etc. It will be safer to get familiar with the performance of the car and the depth of the accelerator pedal slowly.

Excessive stiffness/exertion in the upper body

I believe that when learning to drive, the instructor will teach everyone to clamp the fuel tank when riding a scumbag motorcycle, but it may be difficult for novice riders who are new to motorcycles to understand what the role is. In fact, clamping the fuel tank is very important for stability when handling the motorcycle, and it also helps to reduce fatigue. After all, the muscles of the lower body must be stronger than the upper body. Many novice riders easily overlook this point. When riding a bicycle, they do not clamp the fuel tank with their thighs but use their upper body and hands to support the handlebars. This move is not only detrimental to the stability of the motorcycle but also greatly increases the fatigue of riding. The problem will become more obvious as the riding time slowly increases, or when you start to try cars that pay more attention to riding skills. Therefore, novice riders must remember to clamp the fuel tank and relax the upper body when riding a motorcycle. If necessary, you can add a fuel tank sticker, which will allow you to clamp the fuel tank more effortlessly and drive your car easily.

Lack of concentration at low speeds

Finally, many novice riders will be very nervous when they first start on the road, especially when the speed of the motorcycle is slightly higher, they will concentrate and be more vigilant. And people's attention is limited, when the motorcycle stops, the attention will be relaxed. In fact, as long as the motorcycle is opened with a large accelerator, the car will naturally move without thinking too much. On the contrary, when the motorcycle is at a low speed or stopped, the rider is more likely to have problems in operation, because the clutch is not properly operated, or the posture of moving the bike is improper . resulting in a crash. Therefore, whether it is starting or stopping, it is actually more necessary for the knight to concentrate and pay attention to every basic movement to avoid operational errors such as starting and stalling. Even if you accidentally make a mistake, focusing in advance will definitely make you more effective in avoiding further problems. Next time you're riding a motorcycle, focus on starting the bike and bringing it to a gradual stop.
