Warning
A helmet is one of the most important
pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. You
and your passenger's helmet should
be carefully chosen and should
fit you or your passenger's head
comfortably and securely. A brightly
coloured helmet will increase a rider's
(or passenger's) visibility to other
operators of road vehicles.
An open face helmet offers some
protection in an accident though a full
face helmet will offer more.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to protect
your eyes.
Parking
Warning
Always switch off the engine and
remove the ignition key before
leaving the motorcycle unattended.
By removing the key, the risk of use
of the motorcycle by unauthorised or
untrained persons is reduced.
When parking the motorcycle, always
remember the following:
- Engage first gear to help prevent the
motorcycle from rolling off the stand.
- The engine and exhaust system
will be hot after riding. DO NOT park
where pedestrians, animals and/
or children are likely to touch the
motorcycle.
- Do not park on soft ground or on
a steeply inclined surface. Parking
under these conditions may cause
the motorcycle to fall over.

'How to Ride the Motorcycle' section of
this Owner's Handbook.
