2 Answers
Insert the key, turn on the ignition switch, and ensure the bike is in neutral (the neutral light is usually green). Press the start button with your right hand. Pull in the clutch with your left hand, shift into first gear with your left foot, and gently twist the throttle with your right hand while slowly releasing the clutch with your left hand to start moving. Once you gain speed, pull in the clutch again and shift to a higher gear.
Learning to ride a 125cc motorcycle can be quite challenging for beginners. When I first started practicing, I found an open area. The first step is to always wear a helmet and protective gear. After sitting firmly on the seat, insert the key and turn on the power. Check if it's in neutral or parked. Press the brake pedal and start the engine using the ignition button or kick starter. Once you feel the vibration, slowly release the brake and gently twist the right handle to accelerate and start moving. Practice starting and stopping—avoid sudden acceleration to prevent falls. Get familiar with balancing on flat roads, and lean slightly when turning without making sharp turns. To stop, press the brake and slow down gradually until you come to a halt. Safety tips: turn on lights at night for visibility and reduce speed on wet roads. Spend more time practicing to build confidence—be extra cautious in city traffic with more vehicles. Riding a 125cc is easy to pick up, but don’t take it lightly; start with simple routes to progress faster. It’s best to have an experienced rider guide you—it took me a few weeks to ride comfortably. Regularly check tire pressure and chain lubrication. Ensuring the bike is in good condition before riding helps reduce accident risks.
