Taking Care Of The Unexpected - Honda CRF125F 2021 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.
