Keep Your Bike in Safe Condition
For safe riding, it's important to keep your motorcycle
properly maintained. Having a breakdown can be
difficult, especially if you are stranded off-road far
from your base. To help avoid problems, inspect
your motorcycle before every ride and perform all
recommended maintenance. Never exceed load
limits, and use only accessories that have been
approved by Honda for this motorcycle. See page
12 for more details.
Don't Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don't mix. Even one drink can
reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions,
and your reaction time gets worse with every
additional drink. So don't drink and ride, and don't
let your friends drink and ride either.

Protective Apparel

For your safety, we strongly recommend that you
always wear an approved motorcycle helmet, eye
protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a long-
sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Although
complete protection is not possible, wearing proper
gear can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you choose proper
gear.
