Damaged Motorcycle

In this article, we'll explore practical steps you can take to deal with a damaged motorcycle, from immediate actions to repair solutions. 

1. Ensure Safety First

• Turn Off the Engine: If the motorcycle is still running, turn off the engine immediately to prevent further damage.
• Move to a Safe Location: If possible, push the motorcycle to a safe place away from traffic.
• Check for Injuries: If the damage resulted from an accident, assess yourself and others for injuries. Seek medical attention if necessary.

2. Initial Inspection  

• Visual Inspection: Perform a quick visual check for obvious damage like bent handlebars, broken mirrors, leaking fluids, or damaged tires.
• Listen for Unusual Sounds: As you move the motorcycle, listen for any unusual sounds that might indicate internal damage.

3. Document the Damage

• Take Photos: Photograph the damage from multiple angles. This can be useful for insurance claims or for reference during repairs.

4. Decide on Repair or Towing

• Minor Damage: If the damage is minor and the motorcycle is still operable, consider riding it to NRD Service Center or nearby motorcycle repair shop.
• Major Damage: If the damage is significant, or if the motorcycle is unsafe to ride, arrange for towing to a repair facility.
