Additional Off-road Gear
On-road apparel may also be suitable for casual
off-road riding. But if you plan on any serious
off-road riding you will need more serious
off-road gear. In addition to your helmet and
eye protection, we recommend off-road
motorcycle boots and gloves, riding trousers
with knee and hip pads, a jersey with elbow
pads, and a chest/shoulder protector.
Riding Precautions
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your
motorcycle’s future reliability and performance.
●
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
●
Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
●
Ride conservatively.
