Getting Back to Riding When MCO Ends

Tips on a safe return to riding

The Malaysian Government has planned to end Movement Control Order (MCO) after 12th May 2020. It means it is time to get back to riding.

But that does not mean you can jump on your motorcycle and ride like you did before.

  1. Warm up the engine

If did not already do so, it is now time to get the engine running. First and foremost, listen for any abnormal sounds or noises. Allow the engine to run for at least 20 minutes to let the oil and coolant circulate. Doing so also charges up the battery.

  1. Check the bike first

Check the bike for leaks under the engine, around the forks and brake fluid reservoirs. Check the coolant level if your bike is liquid-cooled. Give your GIVI cases some push and pull. Also, make sure that all the lights and electronics are functioning properly. Any warning light should be taken seriously so do visit the workshop immediately.

  1. Check the tyres

Tyre pressure drops if you have not ridden for some time. Also, check the tyres’ condition and look for abnormalities such as cracks or flat spots.

  1. Service the bike

It is best to service the bike although you may have covered just a small mileage prior to the MCO. Fuel, oil and fluids sitting idly in the bike may have gone through some oxidation. Fresh fluids would do wonders for the bike.

  1. Reprogram the mind and body

Your mind and body need time to adjust to the speed. Your reflexes will also be slower. To overcome this, ride relaxed and build speed up in stages. More importantly, focus on getting your riding techniques back first.

  1. Scrub in those tyres

Tyres that have remained idle for too long tend to be slippery. That is due the compound releasing its oil to the surface. This can usually be seen with sports performance tyres that have been run at operating temperature prior to being idle. Because of this, you need to ride carefully and scrub them in almost like they are fresh. Do not go out there and start slamming the bike into corners. Instead, ride smoothly until you see that the blueish stripes are gone.

  1. Remember social distancing

The Covid-19 virus is far from beaten. Consequently, it is best to limit yourself to solo riding, or riding with your spouse. It is not the best time to organize or join any convoys, yet.

  1. Face masks and hand sanitizer

Remember to also bring along face masks and a bottle of hand sanitizer. You can carry these in a GIVI waist pouch. It is not easy to wear a mask under the helmet, so having masks in your pouch means you can reach for it when you stop somewhere.

GIVI also sells an excellent mask called the PLM01. Available at all GIVI Points and authorized dealers.

    IMPORTANT GIVI RACKING SYSTEM INFORMATION:

    In order to protect the user and avoid damage to the original structure of the motorcycle, we would like to point out the following. Our product is the result of the assembly of various components. Therefore, the welded points and bends, as well as the different motorcycle chassis can cause assembly difficulties. For the correct fitting procedure, we suggest you rely on qualified personnel and to check carefully that the kit components do not interfere negatively or contact with the original parts of the motorcycle (Frame, Silencers, Shock Absorbers, etc.). We will not be responsible for damages caused by incorrect assembling due to poor fitting by a non-qualified person or mechanic. The warranty covers exclusively the replacement or articles from the product range, which would present defects prior to final assembly.

    Suggested fitting sequence: –

      • Fit the supports and the corresponding kit screws (without tightening them) according to the sequence suggested in the mounting instruction.
      • Centre all fitting kit items and check that they do not interfere negatively or contact with the original parts of the motorcycle.
      • Tighten the screw sequentially and check their tension periodically.
      • In case the kit is not complete or you find that you have a faulty component, do not hesitate to get in touch with your dealer or directly with the producer. Please avoid using unsuitable parts.
