2009 ZERO S / DS OWNER'S MANUAL

7

1.  This is a performance motorcycle and should be treated with extreme caution.

2.  Proper safety gear including a helmet, riding boots, gloves and protective clothing should be worn while  

riding to reduce the risk of potential injury. We highly recommend the use of full height riding boots since  
the vast majority of motorcycle injuries are leg and foot injuries.

3.  Never carry a passenger. This motorcycle is designed for an OPERATOR ONLY.

4.  Do not ride on wet, frozen, oily or pitted surfaces. Avoid potholes, surface cracks, and other obstacles.

5.  Prior to each use the rider must check the tire pressure, brakes, and power pack function.

6.   Never use alcohol or mind-altering drugs before operating a Zero Motorcycle. 

7.  Never permit a guest to ride your Zero Motorcycle without proper instruction. These are performance  

motorcycles and should be treated with extreme caution.

8.  Persons unwilling or unable to take responsibility for their actions should not use this motorcycle.  

You assume all responsibility while operating your motorcycle. The seller will assume no liability for misuse  
or operator negligence.

9.  Read all additional warnings and product instructions in this owner’s manual and safety labels before  

operating the Zero Motorcycle.

10.  Your safety depends in part on the good mechanical condition of the motorcycle. Be sure to follow the 

maintenance schedule and adjustment requirements contained in this manual. Be sure you understand the 
importance of checking all items thoroughly before riding.

11.  Modifications of the motorcycle may render the vehicle unsafe and may cause severe personal injury.

12.  Be very careful when loading or adding accessories to your motorcycle. Large, bulky or heavy items may 

adversely affect the handling and performance of your motorcycle.

YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES MAY NOT PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THE USE 
OF THIS MOTORCYCLE. TO DETERMINE IF COVERAGE IS PROVIDED, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR 
INSURANCE COMPANY OR AGENT.
