Page: 21 / 100

Riding your motorcycle can be an enormous source of enjoyment. However, there are risks
associated with riding any motorcycle. To minimize these risks, you should:
1. Review and follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual.
2. Take notice of every warning in this manual.
3. Recognize and respect the “rules of the road.” To ensure your personal safety, obtain
a copy of your state’s “Motorcycle Handbook” and understand the contents.
4. Enroll in a Certified Rider Training Course approved by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation
(MSF). New riders as well as experienced riders will benefit from successfully completing
a riding course. In many states, completing a riding course could lower your insurance
premium. For more information about a MSF training course near you, call the national
toll-free number: (800) 447-4700 (USA only).
5. Be sure to keep your motorcycle in proper operating condition in accordance with the
maintenance intervals chart in this owner’s manual. Particularly important to motorcycle
stability is proper tire pressure, tread condition and sound condition of wheel bearings
and steering head bearings.
6. Do not operate a motorcycle with a loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension
system.
