After starting your motorcycle

The correct answer is: Before riding your motorcycle

Adjusting your side mirrors before riding your motorcycle is crucial for safety and awareness. Properly set mirrors provide a clear view of the road and traffic around you, helping to identify any potential hazards without requiring you to look over your shoulder, which can divert your attention from the road ahead. Adjusting mirrors before the ride ensures that they are aligned correctly for your height and riding position, allowing for optimal visibility. This practice promotes a safer riding environment and helps in making more informed decisions while on the road. The other options, while they suggest instances of mirror adjustment, may impair safety by either not providing the necessary visibility ahead of time or disrupting your focus during riding.
