MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your motorcycle can provide many years of
service and pleasure — if you take responsibility
for your own safety and understand the
challenges you can meet while riding.
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You'll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Following are a few that we consider
most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
It's a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce
the number and severity of head injuries. So
always wear an approved motorcycle helmet.
We also recommend that you wear eye
protection, sturdy boots, gloves and other
protective gear (page 3).
Never Carr y a Passenger
Your motorcycle is designed for one person
only. There are no handholds, footrests, or
seat for a second person — so never carry a
passenger. A passenger could interfere with
your ability to move around to maintain your
balance and control of the motorcycle.
