Protective Apparel - Honda CRF230F Owner's Manual

Keep Your Bike in Safe Condition
It's impor tant to keep your motorcycle
properly maintained and in safe riding
condition. 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.
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 ever y 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 jersey, 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.
WARNING
!
Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a
crash.
Be sure you always wear a helmet, eye
protection and other protective apparel
when you ride.
