SAFETY INFORMATION
EAU10313
Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle's owner, you are re-
sponsible for the safe and proper op-
eration of your motorcycle.
Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.
Their safe use and operation are de-
pendent upon the use of proper riding
techniques as well as the expertise of
the operator. Every operator should
know the following requirements be-
fore riding this motorcycle.
He or she should:
●
Obtain thorough instructions from
a competent source on all as-
pects of motorcycle operation.
●
Observe the warnings and main-
tenance requirements in this
Owner's Manual.
● Obtain qualified training in safe
and proper riding techniques.
● Obtain professional technical ser-
vice as indicated in this Owner's
Manual and/or when made nec-
essary by mechanical conditions.

Safe riding
Perform the pre-operation checks each
time you use the vehicle to make sure it is
in safe operating condition. Failure to in-
spect or maintain the vehicle properly in-
creases the possibility of an accident or
equipment damage. See page 5-2 for a
list of pre-operation checks.
●
This motorcycle is designed to carry
the operator and a passenger.
●
The failure of motorists to detect and
recognize motorcycles in traffic is the
predominating cause of automo-
bile/motorcycle accidents. Many ac-
cidents have been caused by an
automobile driver who did not see
the motorcycle. Making yourself
conspicuous appears to be very
effective in reducing the chance
of this type of accident.
Therefore:
• Wear a brightly colored jacket.
• Use extra caution when you are
approaching and passing
through intersections, since in-
tersections are the most likely
places for motorcycle accidents
to occur.
• Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist's blind spot.
●
Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many op-
erators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a cur-
rent motorcycle license.
• Make sure that you are quali-
fied and that you only lend your
motorcycle to other qualified
operators.
• Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
• We recommend that you prac-
tice riding your motorcycle
where there is no traffic until
you have become thoroughly
familiar with the motorcycle and
all of its controls.
● Many accidents have been caused
by error of the motorcycle opera-
tor. A typical error made by the op-
erator is veering wide on a turn
due to excessive speed or under-
cornering (insufficient lean angle
for the speed).
• Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
