Tyre puncture: Using a tyre inflator and puncture repair kit, you can learn how to repair a puncture on your own. Alternatively, you can call the roadside assistance team.

Dead battery: You can use another motorcycle's battery to jumpstart your battery using jumpstart cables. To jumpstart a bike, the positive of your motorcycle's battery needs to be connected to the positive of the charged battery. Also, the negative needs to be connected to both the batteries. In case you don't find another motorcycle nearby, you can simply push the bike in second gear and hold the clutch to get to a good speed. Your bike will be able to restart the battery. Finally, if you are not comfortable restarting the battery yourself, you can call the roadside assistance team as well.

Braking Problem: If your brakes aren't working, simply leave the bike for a few minutes to allow the brakes to cool. Riding a bike without adequate braking is risky. Finally, if cooling does not help, you should call the roadside assistance team and seek professional help.
