Before Riding - Baja motorsports Phoenix 250 Owner's Manual

Before Riding

Before your first ride on your new motorcycle we strongly
recommend you:
● Read the owner's manual.
● Understand all safety labels.
● Know how to operate all controls.
Before you ride each time, make sure:
● You are in good physical and mental health.
● You are wearing protective gear (helmet, clothing, eye protection
etc.) If you have a passenger be sure they also have protective gear
on.
● You do not have ANY alcohol or drugs in your system.
Protective Clothing
For your protection we urge you to ALWAYS wear protective cloth-
ing. The proper clothes can protect you from injury. Wear an ap-
proved motorcycle helmet, goggles, a good pair of gloves, strong
boots that cover the ankle, long pants, and a long sleeve shirt every
time you ride.
Helmets and Eye protection
A DOT approved motorcycle helmet is the most important part of
your protective gear. A DOT approved motorcycle helmet can help
prevent a serious head injury. Choose a helmet that fits snug. Motor-
cycle dealers can help in selecting a good quality helmet which fits
properly.
WARNING
!
Not wearing a helmet greatly increases your chances of
serious head injuries or death in the event of an accident.
If you are riding with a passenger be sure they are also
wearing a helmet and eye protection.
