Taking Care of the Unexpected
247
If You Crash
Personal safety is your first priority after a crash. 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. Call for emergency assistance if needed. Also follow applicable
laws and regulations if another person or vehicle is involved in the crash.
If you decide that you are capable of riding safely, first evaluate the condition of
your motorcycle. If the engine is still running, turn it off and look it over
carefully; inspect it for fluid leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts,
and secure such parts as the handlebar, control levers, brakes, and wheels.
If there is minor damage, or you are unsure about possible damage, ride slowly
and cautiously. Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not immediately
apparent, so you should have your motorcycle thoroughly checked at a qualified
service facility as soon as possible. Also, be sure to have your dealer check the
frame and suspension after any serious crash.
