MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
Important Safety Information
Your motorcycle can provide many years of service
and pleasure – if you take responsibility for your own
safety and understand the challenges you can meet
while riding.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when
you ride. You’ll find many helpful recommendations
throughout this manual. Following are a few that we
consider to be most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the
number and severity of head injuries. So always wear
an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend
that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves and
other protective gear (page 10).
Never Carry a Passenger
Your motorcycle is designed for one person only.
There are no handholds, footrests, or seat for
a second person – so never carry a passenger.
A passenger could interfere with your ability to move
around to maintain your balance and control of the
motorcycle.
Ride Off-Road Only
Your motorcycle is designed and manufactured for
off-road use only. The tyres are not made for
pavement, and the motorcycle does not have turn
signals and other features required for use on public
roads. If you need to cross a paved or public road,
get off and walk your motorcycle across.
Take Time to Learn and Practice
Developing off-road riding skills is a gradual,
step-by-step process. Start by practicing at low
speeds in a safe area and slowly build your skills.
Personal instruction from an experienced rider can
also be valuable. If you need assistance, ask your
dealer about riding groups in your area.
Be Alert for Off-Road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when
you ride off-road. Continually ‘‘read’’ the terrain for
unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts, and other
hazards. Always keep your speed low enough to allow
time to see and react to hazards.
