Q:By beginner I mean driving on the streets. You can leave out safety gear like helmets and such as I‘ve got that covered as well as basic operation of a motorcycle. I‘d like to know stuff like: How do you pass a semi on the freeway? Will their be a large air gust like in a car when I do so? and What part of the lane should I get in to pass the semi? Tips on quick braking would be helpful too. As well as ant experiences you may have learned the hard way. My bike is an 1978 Suzuki DR 370 enduro.

No worries man, the only time a semi is gonna blow you off the road, is at high speedjust ride the outside of the lane, and you'll be ok. Like the other post said, dont brake into the corners, and use engine braking as well instead of just brakes and downshifting multiple gears, it will make your brakes last 5x longer.

Q:I took my motorcycle into a reputable shop to have the brakes serviced. After paying for service and doing everything recommended, I got exactly 1.3 miles from shop when the front brake locked up at 60 mph laying the bike down. I never had an issue like this before. I suffered a broken rib, a cuncussion and road rash to 40 percent of my body. thank god I wear a helmet as there was a huge chunk taken out of it where my head hit the concrete. I was trauma alerted by paramedics due to loss of consiousness, and confusion. Bike is totalled, missed a week of work so far and still having head trauma complications. Do I have a right to hire an attorney and file a lawsuit? If so how long does the process take, and how much is average to go after? Thank you.

All vehicle and cycle insurance regulations are custom for each man or woman identifying to purchase insurance. The state instruments the minimum required for insurance and all states are no longer the comparable. some insurance companies will insure to the minimum yet it is hardly adequate to disguise damages at the instant. finished insurance is optimal, for sure, enormously if traveling plenty or living in a fantastically congested section. in basic terms the coverage itself can answer your query of ways plenty insurance each and each vehicle would have and the quantities of insurance it supplies you in money. insurance regulations offered will grant insurance against un-insured drivers of yet another vehicle (some states require that) and additionally below-insured drivers too (non-compulsory).

Q:Hey there,I want to get my CBT soon, and I have a bike in mind to buy (Honda NSR 125) but I‘m slightly worried. How different is riding a motorcycle to a push bike and can you guys give me any pointers to be aware when riding a motorcycle? Thanks James

The basic mechanics of riding a motorcycle are the same as riding a push-bike, but the machine is much heavier and you will have to get used to using the controls which are a little different (shifting is typically one hand/foot while braking is the other) and using the engine for power. The NSR 125 is a good choice to start, plenty juicy (it's a 2-stroke) without being too powerful or heavy for a beginner. Get started in a vacant car park working on starting, stopping, shifting, low speed; you'll be comfortable inside the hour I'm sure.

Q:I PUT A SET OF FRONT BRAKES ON MY MOTORCYCLE, IS IT NORMAL FOR THEM TO WHINE WHEN STOPPING?

sometimes i don't think it's bad did you get any of that stuff that makes them not do that? i forgot what it's called it's a little packet you put on the brakes before putting them on haa

Q:i needs to know who invented the first hydraulic brake for a motorcycle and in what year ? please help me i have searched all over the net!!!! thanks diana

the answer is both UNLESS your stopping in a hurry. in an emergency stop the front brake is 100% of your stopping power which is why newer bikes can stand on the front wheel great brakes good tyres the rear isn't even touching the road so its not stopping you you should practice grabbing a handful of front brake so you know how much will stop you quickest the ability to do this in a hurry will save your life

Q:When you brake on a motorcycle, do you need to shift down simultaneously while coming to a stop?

Yes you do need to shift down while coming to a stop. It's not like a car where you can take it out of 5th gear after stopping and put it into first gear. The gears will not shift while at a complete stop on a motorcycle. You can shift down one of two ways or combine the two if you wish. 1. You can pull in the clutch and slow to a stop using the brakes while shifting down one gear at a time matching your speed with the appropriate gear. If you need to accelerate again before coming to a complete stop, you will always be in the right gear to take off again. 2. You can shift down one gear at a time and release the clutch for each gear, using the brakes and the engine to slow the bike. I usually use the first approach. Brakes work just fine stopping the bike.
