IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your motorcycle can provide you many years of service and
pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and un-
derstand the challenges that you can meet on the road. There
is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You
will find many helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Here are some very important safety tips:

Motorcycle safety equipment starts with a quality helmet. One
of the most serious injuries you can suffer in a crash is a head
injury. Always wear a properly approved helmet. You should
also wear suitable eye protection.
Make yourself easy to see
To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing,
position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before
turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help
others notice you.
Know your limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Know-
ing these limits and staying within them will help you to avoid
accidents.
MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
Keep your motorcycle in safe condition
For safe riding, it's important to inspect your motorcycle before
every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been
approved by KYMCO for this motorcycle.
Inspect your motorcycle before riding
Do not forget to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure
the safety of you and your passenger before each ride.
Be extra safety conscious on bad weather days
Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires ex-
tra caution. Braking distance can double on a rainy day. Stay
off of the painted surfaces, manhole covers and greasy ap-
pearing areas on the pavement, as they can be especially slip-
pery. Use extreme caution at railway crossings and on metal
gratings and bridges. Whenever your are in doubt about the
road conditions, slow down.
Modification
Modification of your motorcycle, or removal of original equip-
ment may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obey all appli-
cable equipment regulations in your area.
