motorcycle works and handles. Practice riding the motorcycle in a safe area to build your skills. Do not ride in traffic until you get
accustomed to the motorcycle's controls, and feel comfortable with its size and weight.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Helmets and Eye Protection
A h
elmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your
head comfortably and securely. A bright-colored helmet and reflective strips can make you more noticeable in traffic.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Regardless of the style, look for a DOT (Department of
Transportation) sticker in any helmet you buy (USA only). Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
Warning
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger always wear a helmet, eye protection, and other protective apparel when you ride.
