Safety Guidelines; Always Wear A Helmet; Before Riding; Take Time To Learn & Practice - Honda Gold Wing 2018 Owner's Manual

Safety Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to enhance your
safety:
●
Perform all routine and regular
inspections specified in this manual.
●
Stop the engine and keep sparks and
flame away before filling the fuel tank.
●
Do not run the engine in enclosed or
partly enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide
in exhaust gases is toxic and can kill you.

Always Wear a Helmet

It's a proven fact: helmets and protective
apparel significantly reduce the number
and severity of head and other injuries. So
always wear an approved motorcycle
helmet and protective apparel.

Before Riding

Make sure that you are physically fit,
mentally focused and free of alcohol and
drugs.
Check that you and your passenger are
both wearing an approved motorcycle
helmet and protective apparel. Instruct
your passenger on holding onto the grab
rails or your waist, leaning with you in
turns, and keeping their feet on the step
boards, even when the motorcycle is
stopped.

Safety Guidelines
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,
practice riding in a safe area to become
familiar with how this motorcycle works
and handles, and to become accustomed
to the motorcycle's size and weight.
We recommend that all riders take a
certified course approved by the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). New
riders should start with the basic course,
and even experienced riders will find the
advanced course beneficial.
For information about the MSF training
course nearest you, call the national toll-
free number:
(800) 446-9227.
Other riding tips can be found in the
