.For motorbikes that rely heavily on balance when riding, rain increases the risk due to limited visibility, slippery road terrain, and high standing water.
In order to anticipate security threats, you need to carry out the following tips:

2. Make sure the lights are working
Lamps can illuminate roads that are blurred due to heavy rain.Good lighting can maintain motorists’ visibility and alert other drivers to your presence.
3. Wear a raincoat, avoid poncho models
A raincoat consisting of an upper and lower suit provides comprehensive protection from splashing rainwater.
Avoid poncho style raincoats when driving.This raincoat is easily blown away by the wind because of its wide shape, so there is a risk of it getting tangled in chains or getting caught in other vehicles.
4. Reduce speed, keep a safe distance
Rain worsens driver visibility.You need to reduce your speed below normal and always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so that there is room for drivers to avoid if the vehicle in front experiences problems, such as slipping or falling.
5. Avoid breaking through puddles
Puddles of rainwater cover the road surface and the height of the puddles is often unpredictable.You might accidentally run over a puddle of water that turns out to be a deep hole that you can fall into.
If the height of the puddle is more than half the wheel, it’s a good idea to choose an alternative route.One thing that needs to be avoided is the engine getting water from the air filter or exhaust.
