Important safety information
Your safety is very important. Your motorcycle can provide many
years of service and pleasure, if you take responsibility for your
own safety and understand the challenges while riding. There is
much you can do to protect yourself when you ride.
Please read through the following instructions before riding your
bike the first time.
•
Be sure you read this owner
’
s manual completely and
understand all operating features.
•
Take sufficient time training with safe and proper riding
technique.
•
Practice until you are knowledgeable and comfortable with
your motorcycle, and knowledgeable with all road signs.
•
Failure to follow any safety instructions could cause severe
injury or even death to the motorcycle operator, passenger or
bystander.
Before riding each time, make sure of the following:
Wear protective gear
Wearing appropriate protective wear can prevent or reduce injuries
from accidents.
•
Helmet
–
The majority of serious motorcycle injuries and
deaths are the direct result of a head injury. Drivers and
passengers should always wear a helmet to prevent or reduce
the chance of head injury.
•
Eye and Face Protection
–
A plastic face shield can help
prevent accidents by guarding the face and eyes from debris,
allowing the rider to devote full attention to the road. Goggles or
glasses can protect the eyes in the same manner.
•
Clothing
–
Bright clothing should be worn by the driver so
as to be seen easily by other motorists. Avoid loose clothing that
could catch on the levers, chain or wheels which could result in
an accident. Gloves give you a better grip and help protect your
hands from the elements.
Caution
·
Failure to wear a helmet will significantly increase the likelihood
of injury or death if an accident occurs.
·
Make sure passengers always wear a helmet to protect eyes, and
wear protective clothing.
