🛑 4. Brake System

✔️ Inspect both front and rear brake pads—replace if thin.

✔️ Check brake fluid level and top up if needed.

⚙️ 5. Chain, Chain Lube & Lubrication

✔️ Apply a quality chain lube to reduce friction and noise.

🎒 6. Safety Gear & Personal Essentials

✔️ Wear a proper full-face helmet, jacket, gloves, and riding shoes.

✔️ Bring drinking water, a basic tool kit, and enough cash for emergencies.

✔️ Keep emergency contact numbers like PLUSRonda and nearby motorcycle workshops handy.

✅ 7. Rest Before the Ride

✔️ Get enough sleep the night before.

✔️ Avoid riding if you’re tired—take breaks every 2 hours to stay alert.
