SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU41214
Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are
responsible for the safe and proper
operation of your motorcycle.
Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.
Their safe use and operation are
dependent upon the use of proper riding
techniques as well as the expertise of
the operator. Every operator should know
the following requirements before riding
this motorcycle.
He or she should:
z Obtain thorough instructions from
a competent source on all aspects
of motorcycle operation.
z Observe the warnings and
maintenance requirements in this
Owner’s Manual.
z Obtain qualified training in safe and
proper riding techniques.
z Obtain professional technical
service as indicated in this Owner’s
Manual and/or when made
necessary 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 inspect or maintain the vehicle
properly increases the possibility of an
accident or equipment damage. See
page 4-1 for a list of pre-operation
checks.
z This motorcycle is designed for off-
road use only, therefore, it is illegal
to operate it on public streets,
roads, or highways, even a dirt or
gravel one. Off-road use on public
lands may be illegal. Please check
local regulations before riding.
z This motorcycle is designed to
carr y the operator only. No
passengers.
z The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize motorcycles in traffic
is the predominating cause of
automobile/motorcycle accidents.
Many accidents 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:
z
Wear a brightly colored jacket.
z
Use extra caution when you are
approaching and passing through
intersections, since intersections
are the most likely places for
motorcycle accidents to occur.
z
Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.
z Many accidents involve
inexperienced operators.
z
Make sure that you are qualified
and that you only lend your
motorcycle to other qualified
operators.
z
Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
z
We recommend that you
practice riding your motorcycle
until you have become
thoroughly familiar with the
motorcycle and all of its controls.
z Many accidents have been caused
by error of the motorcycle operator.
A typical error made by the operator
is veering wide on a turn due to
excessive speed or undercornering
(insufficient lean angle for the
speed). Never travel faster than
warranted by conditions.
