WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE SPYDER ROADSTER
Width
Because the Spyder roadster is wider
than a typical motorcycle:
– Keep the front wheels in your lane
during turns. Be particularly aware
of where your front wheels are in
curves and when passing. If you
take a path that would put a motor-
cycle front wheel near the edge of
the lane, the Spyder roadster front
wheel may be out of the lane.
– Do not share lanes or split lanes
(ride between two lanes of traffic).
Group riding should proceed in a sin-
gle file, even with motorcycles.
– Be prepared to swerve farther to
avoid obstacles.
Reverse
R
The Spyder roadster operates in re-
verse like a car. However, there are
some important differences:
– The backup lights turn on when it is
in reverse. Be aware that other mo-
torists might not know that you are
about to back up.
– If necessary, have the passenger
dismount if your visibility is limited.
– Remember that the front is wider
than the rear. Do not back up too
close to objects or you may hit them
with the front tires.
– Keep your speed low and do not
back up for long distances.
– When possible, park so that you do
not have to back out of the parking
space.
– SM6 model: Shift back into first
gear before shutting off the engine.
CAUTION Always keep both
feet on the pegs while operating in
reverse. Never put your feet on the
ground while backing-up.
Driver's License and Local
Laws
Driver's license requirements for op-
erating the Spyder roadster vary by
location. Depending on local laws, you
may need a motorcycle endorsement,
three-wheeled vehicle endorsement,
or just a standard automobile driver's
license.
Check with local authorities to make
sure you have the proper license be-
fore operating the vehicle on public
roads.
