General Tips - Riding Motorcycles in the Rain Tamil | Best Rain Riding Tips in Tamil
1. Always remember that first rains are most risky. All garbage, oil, mud accumulated over the summer will be floating around on the road. Be very very slow in the first couple of days of rains.
2. The first rule of wet weather motorcycle riding is gentle inputs. (actually gentle inputs is correct way for riding any time) Riding in rains makes this rule more important. You should be very gentle in every input you give be it acceleration, braking or leaning.
3. Hydroplaning is a reality. Hydroplaning occurs when a layer of water prevents direct contact between the tires and the road. So even when you are riding in a straight line, if there is deep water, you may lose traction. Only solution is to slow down.
Brakes
4. Once you start riding, find an empty patch of road and brake hard. This will give you an idea of how much grip and braking power you have. A couple of scary moments on empty road help immensely. Gently apply brakes periodically to wipe rotors of water / mud / debris.
5. Riding when it is pouring hard is relatively easier than light / patchy rains. In heavy rains, the tyres are always wet and you know what kind of grip they are providing. In case of light rains, some area of your tyre will be wet and at the same time other portion may be dry. This will result into ON/OFF traction / grip. Take it easy while riding in light rains.
Areas to avoid
6. Rain has a habit of spoiling your ride by spreading gravel and dirt on corners. Be very cautious while leaning.
7. Avoid riding near the dividers on the road. In many cases, mud from dividers gets washed out on the fast lane near divider. If you are riding in that lane, traction will be lost because of this mud.
8. The covered area around toll booths may feel attractive to save you from rains. But remember, that is the area where all trucks will be leaking oil and it doesn’t get washed away. Be very very cautious near toll booths.
9. Avoid riding on painted lines on the road. They are quite slippery.
Visibility
How to Ride a Two-Wheeler in Rain: Tips & Tricks
10. Most of the Indian vehicles do not have effective mudguards. So you will always have mud thrown on you. Always carry a cloth for cleaning headlight, taillight and blinkers. Carry a small napkin for cleaning helmet visor. Visibility - you being able to see and others seeing you is critical.
11. While riding in rains, always keep your headlight on. It is better to be visible to others on the road. DO NOT put the headlight on high beam. You won’t see anything more in heavy rain and in the case of fog, the high beam will reflect back making you temporarily blind. Follow lane markings on the road.
12. In the case of low visibility due to heavy rain / fog, while riding on highways, keep double the distance with other vehicles than you would normally keep. Brakes can’t perform efficiently in rains. Give yourself more space to stop in time.
13. You cannot see open manhole covers or potholes. So try to follow tyre tracks of vehicle in front of you.
For Motorcycles with Radiators
14. If you own a motorcycle with radiator and this is your first rainy season, don’t panic if your motorcycle creates a large white coloured smoke from the engine area. It is the water touching hot radiator. For motorcycles without a radiator, this would happen when the water touches hot engine for the first time.
15. In rains, everyone is in a hurry to reach some dry place. Note that going fast won’t make you less wetand secondly, why hurry when you can enjoy the rain ride!
3 Tips for riding through standing or flowing water:
1. Be extremely slow. Be steady on the throttle.
2. Do NOT drop the revs to idle. Keep riding at 2-3,000 rpm. If you need to slow down, use the clutch to control speed but do NOT reduce the rpm. In case you drop the revs, water may enter exhaust and then you will have a stalled bike and heavy engine repair bill to face.
3. You cannot see open manhole covers or potholes. So try to follow tyre tracks of vehicle in front of you.
