Motorcycle Safety
Important Safety Information
Your motorcycle can provide many years of
service and pleasure – if you take responsibility
for your own safety and understand the
challenges you can meet while riding.
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You’ll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. The following are a few that we
consider to be most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce
the number and severity of head injuries. So
always wear an approved motorcycle helmet.
We also recommend that you wear eye
protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other
protective gear (page 20).
Never Carry a Passenger
Your motorcycle is designed for one person
only. There are no handholds, footrests, or seat
for a second person – so never carry a
passenger. A passenger could interfere with
your ability to move around to maintain your
balance and control of the motorcycle.
Ride Off-road Only
Your motorcycle is designed and manufactured for
off-road use only. The tires are not made for
pavement, and the motorcycle does not have turn
signals and other features required for use on
public roads. If you need to cross a paved or public
road, get off and walk your motorcycle across.
