The clutch is the lever on the left handlebar of the motorcycle. You must disengage the clutch when changing gears.

Bright colours such as red and yellow are recommended. Reflective vests and reflective stripes on helmets and jackets are also beneficial.

Assess the possible effects of modifications in advance. Some modifications can affect performance and safety, while others might not meet legal standards; if this is the case, the modifications must not be made.

The throttle is located on the right handgrip and helps control the speed of the motorcycle. When twisted inward towards the rider the throttle releases fuel which flows to the engine.

It is important to check tire pressure regularly, especially when driving in colder weather.::0::0;;

Even with protective headgear, motorcyclists can be distracted and potentially hurt by debris or flying objects. Be prepared and do not panic. Panic can cause motorcyclists to make potentially fatal driving errors. Maintain a firm grip on the handlebars, drive until there is a safe place to pull over and stop, then assess any damage.

Special care should be taken when towing a trailer with a motorcycle. The trailer must have a mandatory white plate light, two red reflectors on the rear and a red tail light.

It is best to drive around objects on the road, but if you are unable to do so, use special care when driving over the object. Grip the handlebars firmly, maintain a straight path, and use the footrests to rise slightly above the seat. To protect the front suspension somewhat, apply the throttle, but only slightly. To maintain better control of the bike, avoid stiffening up.

Motorcyclists should always apply both brakes smoothly at the same time. This ensures safer, more efficient stopping. Do not apply the brakes in a sudden, jerky manner.

Applying forward pressure on the handlebar of the turning side causes the motorcycle to lean while pushing on the other handlebar and applying the throttle causes the motorcycle to straighten and finish the turn.
