STREET STRATEGIES
Curves
Because the vehicle is narrower than a
car, you can move from side to side
in the lane in curves to straighten
your path of travel. But the vehicle is
wider than a motorcycle, so less lateral
movement is possible, and it is impor-
tant to make sure that your front tires
do not leave the lane.
For typical curves, an outside, inside,
outside path is best.

PATH FOR TYPICAL CURVES
1. Outside
2. Inside (at the apex)
Hills
When stopped, the vehicle can roll
regardless of what gear it is in. The
clutch is always disengaged when the
vehicle is stopped, so the transmission
will not hold the vehicle in place. Hold
the brake pedal when stopped on an
incline. To start while on an incline,
hold the brake pedal as you increase
throttle. Release the brake pedal as
you feel the clutch engage.
Night Riding
In addition to using your lights and sig-
nals to be seen by other motorists,
consider your own ability to see at
night. Use high beams when appro-
priate. Avoid overriding your headlight
(riding so fast that you cannot see as
far as your stopping distance). You can
also use other vehicles headlights to
see the road ahead.
Do not use tinted or colored visors
or lenses at night, and be particularly
careful that your visor does not have
scratches or smudges.
Group Riding
Ride single file only. Never share
lanes, even with a motorcycle.
When riding with motorcycles, main-
tain proper following distance from
the motorcycle in front of you, even
if they are riding to one side of the
lane. In curves, do not try to follow
the path of motorcycles. Motorcycles
can move farther to the edges of the
lane in curves — if you follow them ex-
actly, your front wheel can leave the
lane. Motorcycles may be able to take
curves faster than this vehicle. Do not
try to match their speed.

GROUP RIDING POSITION
1. Center of lane
2. Distance of 2 seconds
Particularly on curvy roads, the riders
might become tired sooner than mo-
torcyclists. Do not push yourself to
keep up with motorcycles; stop if you
are tired.
Road Conditions and
Hazards
Ice, Snow and Slush
Do not ride on ice, snow or slush. Even
with VSS, there will not be enough
traction to maintain control on these
slippery surfaces. This vehicle is more
likely than a car to spin out of control in
slippery surfaces.
