Taking Care Of The Unexpected; If You Crash - Honda CRF125F 2022 Owner's Manual

TAKING CARE OF THE UNEXPECTED

IF YOU CRASH

Personal safety is your first priority after a
crash. If you or anyone else has been injured,
take time to assess the severity of the injuries
and whether it is safe to continue riding. If you
cannot ride safely, send someone for help. Do
not ride if you will risk further injury.
If you decide that you are capable of riding
safely, first evaluate the condition of your
motorcycle. If the engine is still running, turn it
off and look it over carefully; inspect it for
fluid leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts
and bolts, and secure such parts as the
handlebar, control levers, brakes, and wheels.

If there is minor damage, or you are unsure
about possible damage, ride slowly and
cautiously. Sometimes, crash damage is hidden
or not immediately apparent, so you should
have your motorcycle thoroughly checked at a
qualified service facility as soon as possible.
Also, be sure to have your dealer check the
frame and suspension after any serious crash.
