Tips for supervising the young
rider.
WARNING
Allowing a child to operate this
motorcycle
supervision can be hazardous.
Without supervision, the child
may ride beyond his or her abil-
ities and lose control of the
motorcycle.
Never let your child ride a
motorcycle without close adult
supervision. Take action if your
child begins to ride beyond his
or her abilities. Introduce new
riding areas slowly and make
sure the riding area matches
your child's skill level.
Your child's safety depends on
your commitment to take the time
necessary to fully educate him or
her on the proper operation of the
JR50. Remember that proper
instruction before
begins to ride is as important as
proper instruction and supervision
during riding.

Wear protective gear.
A helmet is the most important
piece of gear to wear off-highway,
where visibility and trail conditions
can vary greatly from section to
section and season to season.
These changes are sometimes
unpredictable, and can cause
even an experienced rider to have
an accident. Helmets do not
reduce essential vision or hear-
ing.
Generally, helmets do not cause
or intensify injury if the rider
crashes. Helmets simply help
your child's skull protect his or her
intelligence, memory, personality,
and life.
Your child's eyesight is equally
valuable. Wearing eye protection
can help keep his or her vision
unblurred by the wind and help
shield his or her eyes from
branches and airborne matter like
bugs, dirt, or pebbles kicked up by
tires. Have your child wear a hel-
met and eye protection every time
he or she rides.
