If You Crash
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Personal safety is your first priority after an accident. If you or anyone
else has been injured, take time to assess the severity of the injuries and
whether it is safe to continue riding. If you cannot ride safely, send
someone for help. Do not ride if you will risk further injury.
If you decide you are capable of riding safely, carefully inspect your
ATV for damage and determine if it is safe to ride. Check the tightness
of critical nuts and bolts securing such parts as the handlebar, control
levers, brakes, and wheels.
If there is minor damage, or you are unsure about possible damage but
decide to try riding the ATV back to your base, ride slowly and
cautiously.
Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not immediately apparent. When
you get home, thoroughly check your ATV and correct any problems
you find. Also, be sure to have your Honda dealer check the frame and
suspension after any serious crash.
