SAFETY OPERATION
Additional Cautions for High Speed Operation
Brakes: Braking is very important, especially during high speed operation. It cannot be over-forced. Check
and replace pads more often to get better performance.
Handling: Looseness in the handling parts may cause loss of control. Check to see whether the handlebar
turns freely but has no shaking, and that the wheels turn without shaking or looseness.
Tires: High speed operation requires that tires be in good condition. Good condition tires are crucial for
riding safety. Inspect their overall condition, inflate them to the proper pressure, and check the wheel
balance.
Fuel: Have su
ffi
cient fuel onboard for high speed operation.
Engine oil: To avoid engine failure which could result in a loss of control, make sure the oil level is
maintained between the upper and lower level lines.
Coolant: To avoid overheating, check and make sure that the coolant level is between the level lines.
Electrical Equipment: Make sure that the headlights, tail/brake light, turn signals, horn and etc. work
properly.
Fasteners: Make sure that all nuts and bolts are tight and that all safety-related parts are in good condition.
DANGER
Follow all traffic regulations. Do not ride on the highway over posted speed limits. Riding at too high
speed on the highway will violate related regulations. Motorcycles may be forbidden to operate on the
highway in some areas.
