When is it safe to adjust your motorcycle's mirrors?

Adjusting your motorcycle's mirrors after mounting but before starting to ride is the safest option for ensuring optimal visibility. This timing allows the rider to make necessary adjustments while still in a stationary position, which minimizes the risk of losing balance or control that could occur if adjustments are made while moving.

Once the motorcycle is in motion, it becomes more challenging to safely adjust the mirrors, as it requires taking your attention away from the road and can compromise your stability. Ideally, pre-ride checks, including mirror adjustments, should occur when the motorcycle is stationary, allowing you to ensure both mirrors are correctly positioned to maximize your field of vision without distractions.

Completing this adjustment before setting off contributes to safer riding practices, allowing you to focus on the road ahead once you begin your ride.
