What must you do after dismounting your bike?

• A. Remove the ignition key, and engage fork lock (or other security devices).
• B. Turn on the headlights.
• C. Leave the bike unlocked.
• D. Ignore security devices.

Answer: (A)

Securing the bike when you dismount is about preventing theft and keeping the bike from being moved without your key. The proper step is to take the ignition key with you and engage the fork lock (or another security device). Removing the key ensures the engine can’t be started, and locking the fork or using a security device makes it much harder for someone to roll or steal the bike. Turning on headlights isn’t a security measure and can drain the battery, leaving the bike more vulnerable if you’re parked for a while. Leaving the bike unlocked or ignoring security devices defeats the purpose of securing it in the first place.
