Before you ride
your two-wheeler in the rain, make sure of the following:
 Both
front and rear brakes operate smoothly without grabbing.
The
throttle is free of any stickiness.
The
tyres have ample tread on them.
The
lights and horn are functioning without any problem.
When
riding in the wet,
Dress for the occasion. Protect yourself form the rain and
use eye protection gear.
Avoid
sudden inputs, either of the throttle or the brakes.
Lean
50 to 60 per cent less than you would in the dry.
Anticipate
traffic movement to avoid panic braking.
Always
use both front and rear brakes.
Use
the gears if you have to slow down in a hurry.
Pull
in the clutch only when you are almost at a dead stop.
Take
your feet off the footpegs to get better balance.
