ARE YOU READY TO DRIVE
Before each drive, you need to make sure you and your UV800-R4 are both ready to drive. To
help get you prepared, this section discusses how to evaluate your driving readiness, what items
you should check on your UV800-R4, and adjustments to make for your comfort, convenience,
or safety.
Before you drive your UV800-R4 for the first time, we urge you to:
■
Read this owner’s manual and the labels on your UV800-R4 carefully.
■
Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
■
Know how to operate all the controls.
■
Never drive this UV800-R4 if it works over16 years.
Before each drive, be sure:
■
You feel well and are in good physical and mental condition.
■
You are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet (with chin strap tightened securely), eye
protection, and other protective clothing.
■
You don’t have any alcohol or drugs.
Protective Apparel
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved motorcycle helmet,
eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you drive.
Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of
injury when you drive.
The following suggestions will help you choose the proper driving gear.
Helmets and Eyes Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of driving gear because it offers the best protection
against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Regardless of
the style, look for a DOT (Department of Transportation) sticker in any helmet you buy. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
