·
Wear clothing that will completely cover the legs when riding and avoid
contact with the exhaust system.
·
Do not allow others, under any circumstances to operate your motorcycle
unless you are certain that they are experienced, licensed riders and are
familiar with the operation of your particular motorcycle.
·
When leaving the motorcycle unattended, remove ignition key from switch.
Protect your motorcycle against theft.
·
Safe motorcycle operation requires mental awareness and good judgment
combined with a defensive driving attitude. Don’t allow fatigue, alcohol or
drugs to endanger your safety or the safety of others.
·
Maintain your motorcycle in proper operating condition in accordance with
the service coupons in this Owner’s Manual. Particularly important to motorcycle
stability is the tire inflation pressure, tread condition, and proper adjustment of
wheel bearings and steering head bearings.
Do not operate motorcycle with loose, worn or damaged steering
system or front or rear suspension system as handling will be adversely
affected. Contact your dealer for repair of steering or suspension system
wear or damage.
·
Do not tow a trailer.
·
At street intersections, give the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right. Do
not presume too much when you have the right-of-way, the other driver
may not know you have it.
·
Always signal when preparing to stop or turn.
·
All traffic signs, including those used for the control of traffic at
intersections, should be obeyed promptly and to the letter. SLOW DOWN
signs near schools and CAUTION signs at railroad crossings should
always be observed and your actions governed accordingly.
·
Never anticipate a traffic light. When a change is indicated from GO to
STOP (or vice versa) in the traffic control systems at intersections, await
the change.
·
When intending to turn to the left, give signal at least 100 feet before
reaching the turning point. Move over to the centerline of the street (unless
local rules require otherwise), slow down passing the intersection of the
street and then turn carefully to the left.
·
In turning either right or left, watch for pedestrians as well as vehicles.
·
Do not leave the curb or parking area without signaling and seeing that
your way is clear to drive into moving traffic. A moving line of traffic has
the right-of-way.
·
See that your license tags are installed in the position specified by law and
that they are clearly visible under all conditions. Keep them clean.
·
Ride at a safe speed — a speed consistent with the type of highway you are
on, and always note whether the road is dry, oily, icy or wet. Each varying
condition on the highway means adjusting your speed accordingly.
