WARNING
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and
never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed
can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death
or serious injury.
Know your limits as a rider. Do not exceed the legal speed
limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce
speed when poor driving conditions exist and/or you feel the
driving situation is uncomfortable. High speed increases the
influence of any other condition affecting stability and
increases the possibility of loss of control. The EBR 1190
RX/SX is equipped with passenger accommodations. DO NOT
EXCEED GVWR.
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Your
motorcycle may be subject to the following upsetting forces:
• Irregular pavement surfaces, such as holes, patches.
• Wind blasts from passing vehicles.
• Oil spills, gravel, etc. on road surface.
• Inappropriate rider control input.
These forces may influence the handling characteristics of
your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the
motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do
not brake abruptly or force the handlebar; this may aggravate
an unstable condition.
