Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety:
●
Perform all routine and regular inspections
specified in this manual.
●
Stop the engine and keep sparks and flame
away before filling the fuel tank.
●
Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly
enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in exhaust
gases is toxic and can kill you.
It’s a proven fact: helmets and protective apparel
significantly reduce the number and severity of
head and other injuries. So always wear an
approved motorcycle helmet and protective
apparel.

Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally
focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check
that you and your passenger are both wearing
an approved motorcycle helmet and protective
apparel. Instruct your passenger on holding onto
the grab rail or your waist, leaning with you in
turns, and keeping their feet on the footpegs,
even when the motorcycle is stopped.
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,
practice riding in a safe area to become familiar
with how this motorcycle works and handles, and
to become accustomed to the motorcycle’s size
and weight.
Always pay attention to other vehicles around
you, and do not assume that other drivers see
you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an
evasive maneuver.
