A schoolboy tries to clean his father's motorcycle but accidentally causes it to tip over when he removes the back stand.

CCTV footage shows Zhyrro Abellon, 15, placing a cloth on the passenger seat as he was about to wipe it dry.

The youngster carefully disengaged the stand and pushed the handlebars forward, but could not manage the weight of the Yamaha Xmax, causing it to topple over.

He was dragged down with the black and yellow scooter, landing on his stomach and quickly fixing the two-wheeler to check for damage.

His father Reggie said: ‘I asked my son if he could wash the motorcycle. He was almost finished but accidentally went out of balance.

‘The Xmax fell down and had some scratches and dents.'

The motorcycle was clean but had to be taken to a garage for minor repairs after the incident on March 25.
