What should a rider do in case of a mechanical failure on the road?

In the event of a mechanical failure while riding, pulling over safely and calling for assistance is the appropriate response. This action prioritizes the rider's safety, as attempting to fix a mechanical problem while still in motion could lead to further complications or accidents. By stopping in a safe location away from traffic, the rider can assess the situation without the immediate risks associated with riding a malfunctioning motorcycle. Additionally, calling for professional help ensures that the issue can be addressed properly, reducing the likelihood of causing further damage to the motorcycle or endangering the rider. This approach emphasizes the importance of safety and proper maintenance rather than attempting to resolve the issue on the road.
