A Guide To Bikes

  TOP 3 GADGETS FOR MOTORCYCLES Riding a motorcycle can be adventurous, but sometimes it lacks some of the amenities and luxuries that cars have. So in this blog, I'm going to list out top 3 gadgets that I find the most useful for riders when they're out riding bikes! GADGET 1: BATTERY TENDER USB CHARGER Portable electronics are a part of our lives. The need to charge and recharge is ongoing. We’ve all felt battery level anxiety at some point. If your bike isn’t equipped with a USB charging port then the battery tender USB charger is what you'd want to install on your bike.  This handy gadget allows you to charge your phone using your motorcycle battery. You can charge any device that charges via USB as well, so that could be your tablet, GPS, camera and phone. Some battery tender USB chargers even have a switch so that you can turn it off after you're done charging so that you won't drain your bike's battery. GADGET 2: COMMUNICATION DEVICES Unlike cars, most bi...

 How to Gear Up for Riding Riding a motorcycle is inherently dangerous. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data, motorcycling is 33 times more dangerous than driving a car. There is a saying in motorcycle culture that there are two types of riders: Those who have crashed, and those who haven’t crashed yet. However, don’t let that scare you off! With the proper gear you can enjoy how amazing riding is while keeping your skin on your body. GEAR 1: HELMET The very first thing you will need is a helmet. The helmet is one of the most important or if not, THE most important gear amongst all riding gear. It protects your face from bugs, leaves, dust and anything that is out there trying to hit you in the face when you're riding. Second of all, you get to keep your brain if you somehow crash and hit your head during high speed riding. Thirdly, you get to keep your beautiful or handsome face as well if by any chance you crash during high speed and drag your ...

  A little bit about myself A very warm welcome to all the readers of my blog! My name is Moey Khy Han and I'm blogging this live from Penang, Malaysia. I studied in Chung Ling High School as a form 6 student  previously  in my hometown Penang before entering Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris continuing my studies in degree. I've started riding motorcycle since the year 2019, and I only started riding clutched bikes back in November 2021. Even though I've been riding for only a few months, I've actually learned a lot as a self-taught rider. So in this blog, I'll be guiding you a step by step tutorial of how to ride a clutched bike, so that you'll ride one in no time!

  Top Mistakes Beginner Riders Make There are a lot of mistakes that new riders make because there are a lot to think about. I believe that you learn best from your own mistakes, but you can learn second best from other people’s mistakes and not repeat them.  Here are the most common mistakes that beginner riders make when first learning how to ride a bike. Stalling This is one of the most challenging issues for beginner riders when they first starting riding a clutched bike, since mastering the clutch requires very delicate control over the clutch, and each bikes has different clutch friction zone. But worry not, as long as you practice your clutch control and get to know your bike, you'll master your bike's clutch in a day or two. As long as you're not twisting the throttle and dump the clutch at the same time, which may cause the bike to over-accelerate and do a wheelie, you'll be fine! Forgetting to turn off your signal lights Unlike cars, motorcycles do not have...

INTRO   Before starting our main topic today, allow me to introduce to you what is a clutch.  A clutch is  a mechanical device that engages or disengages the drive from the engine to the transmission and ultimately to the rear wheel . Think of the clutch as being the middle man, between the engine and transmission.  By pulling the clutch, you are releasing the bike’s engine from its transmission, putting a bike in the neutral (N) mode and be ready to shift gears. Just like driving a manual car which you have to step on the clutch with your left foot before changing to your desired gear, you have to pull the clutch with your left hand in order to change to upshift or downshift gear. Now that we've covered how clutched bikes work, let's get into learning how to ride them! STEP 1:GEAR 1 As we mentioned earlier, we have to pull in the clutch before we engage the gear. So for beginners, it is recommended to start the bike engine with neutral gear (N) first, and then pull ...
