EN
g. Sudden gusts of wind can cause you to lose
control of your motorcycle. Reduce your speed
and exercise extreme caution when you are over-
taken by a vehicle of large dimensions, when you
come out of a tunnel or when you are driving in a
hilly area.
h. Remember that, as your motorcycle picks up
speed, stopping distances increase and the
motorcycle becomes more difficult to control.
i. When riding during the day, always ride with
your low beam headlight illuminated.
j. Always keep your feet on the foot pegs and
your hands on the handlebars while riding.
k. Avoid riding during slippery road conditions,
such as caused by rain, snow, sleet, ice, loose
gravel, etc. Also, avoid riding on slippery surfaces,
such as metal plates, manholes or grates. You
could experience reduced tire traction, making it
more difficult to control or stop your motorcycle. If
you do ride in these conditions, travel at low
speed and avoid abrupt maneuvers.
l. Pay attention to roadway conditions. Certain
roadways contain debris, potholes and crevices
that may cause you to lose your balance or con-
trol over the motorcycle. Familiarize yourself with
roadway conditions and remain alert so that you
can act to avoid any hazard.
m. Never attempt any acrobatic stunts or
maneuvers with your motorcycle! You can lose
control and have an accident. You will also cause
your motorcycle to prematurely wear or fail,
resulting in an accident. The resulting damages
will not be covered by the warranty.
n. You may carry one passenger on the motorcy-
cle. Never carry more than one passenger. When
riding with a passenger, keep in mind that the
passenger’s weight and movements may affect
your balance and control over the motorcycle.
