VEHICLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Your vehicle can provide many years
of service and pleasure if you take
responsibility for your own safety and
understand the challenges that you can
meet on the road.
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You’ll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Following are few that we consider
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
helmet and make sure your pillion rider
does the same. We also recommend that
you wear eye protection, sturdy boots,
gloves, and other protective gear (page 4).
Make Yourself Easy to be Visible
Some drivers do not see vehicles because
they are not looking for them. To make
yourself more visible, wear bright reflective
clothing, position yourself so other drivers
can see you, signal before turning or
changing lanes, and use your horn when it
will help others notice you.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Don’t mix Alcohol and riding. Even one
drink can reduce your ability to respond
to changing conditions, and your reaction
time gets worse with every additional drink.
So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your
friends drink and ride either.
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of
vehicle accidents. Never ride beyond your
personal abilities or faster than conditions
warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs,
fatigue and inattention can significantly
reduce your ability to make good
judgements and ride safely.
