Take a riding course, best money you will ever spend. If it's not available to you the start small.
Put bike about 2 feet from a wall and practice easing clutch and stop with front brake repeat 40-50 times until you do it smoothly. Them move back to 5 feet and repeat. Then stoping will become something you can do without thinking about it. And don't look at the road or bike , keep your eyes up and look where you want to go not at what you might hit."bike will always follow your eyes"

 

feathering the clutch (pulling it in to let it slip) will help control speed starting and when doing u turns

 

you should always stop using both brakes. using the front brake to hold you at the stop

 

If you don't do this ⬆ learn how to cover the clutch. It'll save your life on more than one occasion.

I don't think that he'll find an MSF course in India.

What he can do is buy a copy of this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/329406.Proficient_Motorcycling

Also see if there is an active motorcyclist's club in your area. There used to be a large network of such clubs in most former British colonies.

 

Do your self a favour and watch twist of the wrist part 1 and 2. They are both on You Tube. If you are moving to a bike there are lots of things you have to unlearn but fortunately your bike will look after you if you keep it smooth and controlled. ToTW will introduce you to basic bike dynamics (like the fact that you back off in a corner you get the opposite result to a car), bikes don't brake as well as cars (smaller contact patch) and other things to consider in your approach to riding. If your used to an automatic car blipping the throttle to get smooth down changes will take time but its is something to practice lots. Don't worry about rough gear changes on the way up as every bike is mapped differently and you'll soon find the sweet spot where you can get a nice gear change without revving the bike to pieces - just practice. Also if your bike has a wet clutch don't worry about slipping it to control the bike speed at low revs (don't slip it at high revs you'll kill it). Also remember back brake is great for low speed stability so don't worry about dragging it when you're doing your parking manouvers (something bike riders struggle with). and there are lots of simple sayings like "where you look is where you go" which are so true (I drum that one into my kids regularly). The last one I'll bore you with is countersteering - it's a revelation what this does for your riding when you crack it, but it is so often not taught well when you get your licence. or get on a bike for the first time - basically (and here is another truism sorry) push left to go left, push right to go right - check out ToTW 2 to see it in action. Time in the saddle is the best way to sort out what suits your riding style!!
Good luck and most importantly have fun!!!

 

ToTW is more of an advanced course. This dude is just learning the basics.

 

Yes he should but the wall method puts your right hand in tune with the stop process.
Many new riders that have driven cars first , in panic mode will stomp the rear brake and forget about the front one. And come up with the BIGGEST bs line of all time "I had to lay the bike down to miss the car"
when did the coefficient of friction of steel and plastic exceed rubber!
Seen it at least 20 times working at bike shops and BC Saftey Council events over the years and the worst were the Wing Nuts!

 

he basic rider book in the download link i posted has the book used in the MSF training course is is a pdf format you can save

 

All the advice is good.

I would recommend the link that XJ550H posted followed by the Proficient Motorcylist book that Kmoe recommended.

The first link gives the basics, the second one expounds on the basics in a very detailed manner.

 

if poster is near an american military base there may an MSF course , it is required for riding on military bases.
I met this instructor who taught courses overseas when h.e was in the Air Force

 

Bollocks, the basics don't change that's why people never learn to ride properly with the inevitable consequences

 

@pkay: Agreed, however, if satathb doesn't know how to use the clutch, throttle, shifter and brakes to start, stop, accelerate, decelerate and change gears at speed he doesn't know the basics as he stated and is learning them as k-moe stated. If a rider can't ride a line they're going to have a hell of a time trying to roll a corner.

^^^ Emphasis on learning. You can't expect a first-grader to read the Iliad. Mastering the basics must come first.
