SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10281

MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE
TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE
AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT
UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING
TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EX-
PERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EV-
ERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW
THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE RIDING THIS MOTOR-
CYCLE.
HE OR SHE SHOULD:

●

OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM A COMPETENT
SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF
MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.

●

OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND
MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-
MENTS IN THE OWNER’S MAN-
UAL.

●

OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING
IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING
TECHNIQUES.

●

OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-
NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED
BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL

AND/OR WHEN MADE NECES-
SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-
TIONS.

Safe riding

●

Always make pre-operation
checks. Careful checks may help
prevent an accident.

●

This motorcycle is designed to car-
ry the operator and a passenger.

●

The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize motorcycles in traf-
fic is the predominating cause of
automobile/motorcycle accidents.
Many accidents have been caused
by an automobile driver who did
not see the motorcycle. Making
yourself conspicuous appears to
be very effective in reducing the
chance of this type of accident.

Therefore:

• Wear a brightly colored jacket.
• Use extra caution when you are

approaching and passing
through intersections, since in-
tersections are the most likely
places for motorcycle accidents
to occur.

• Ride where other motorists can

see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.

●

Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many op-
erators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a cur-
rent motorcycle license.

• Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your
motorcycle to other qualified op-
erators.

• Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you prac-

tice riding your motorcycle
where there is no traffic until you
have become thoroughly famil-
iar with the motorcycle and all of
its controls.

●

Many accidents have been caused
by error of the motorcycle opera-
tor. A typical error made by the op-
erator is veering wide on a turn
