Safe Riding Practices
• Be especially cautious at intersections, as these are the most likely places for an accident.
• To prevent loss of control, keep your hands on the handlebars and your feet on the foot-
rests.
• Be aware that the highway bar is not designed to protect the rider from injury in a colli-
sion.
• Do not move or operate the motorcycle with the steering locked (if equipped), as the
severely restricted steering could result in loss of control.
• Obey the speed limit and adjust your speed and riding technique based on road, weather
and traffic conditions. As you travel faster, the influence of all other conditions increases,
which can affect the motorcycle's stability and increase the possibility of losing control.
