Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Motorcycle helmets are the most critical safety piece of equipment. Look for one that meets or exceeds DOT standards and has a certification from organizations like Snell or ECE.
- Cockpit guards can help prevent head injuries by absorbing impacts. They're available in different styles, materials, and price points.
- Padded gloves and knee pads provide added protection for your hands and legs.
Visibility and Lighting
- Motorcycle lights, including headlights, taillights, and brake lights, are essential for visibility. Consider LED bulbs or high-powered incandescent options.
- Lenses with anti-reflective coating can reduce glare from oncoming traffic.
- Visibility vests or jackets can be a lifesaver in low-light conditions.
Bearing and Braking Systems
- Knobby brake pads are a must-have for improved stopping power. Look for ones with anti-particle technology or ceramic cores.
- Brake fluid should be compatible with your motorcycle's system to avoid corrosion and contamination.
- Bearing grease can help reduce friction between moving parts, improving overall performance.
