SportCity 125 - 200
CLOTHING
Always wear and fasten your helmet cor-
rectly before moving off. Make sure your
helmet complies with applicable regula-
tions, is not damaged, is the right size and
keep the visor clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably bright
and/or reflective clothing. This will ensure
you are easily seen by other road users
and reduce the risk of an accident, besides
affording improved protection in the event
of a fall.
Wear tight-fitting clothing fastened at the
wrists and ankles; make sure no strings,
belts and ties are hanging loose; make
sure no items of clothing or other objects
can distract you or become entangled with
moving parts or with the handlebars.
Do not ride with sharp or pointed objects in
your pockets as they might cause injury in
the event of a fall (this includes keys, pens,
glass vials, etc. - note that the same ap-
plies to your passenger).
ACCESSORIES
The owner of the vehicle is responsible for
the choice, installation and use of any ac-
cessory.
Any accessories installed must not cover
the horns or lights or impair their operation,
restrict suspension travel and steering an-
gle, impair the operation of any vehicle
controls or affect ground clearance or bank
angle in a bend.
Avoid using accessories that may hamper
access to vehicle controls, as this can slow
down your reaction in an emergency.
Large fairings and windshields may affect
the vehicle's aerodynamics and make it un-
stable, especially at high speeds.
