Protective Apparel - Honda CB1000R Owner's Manual

Keep Your Bike in Safe Condition
For safe riding, it's important to inspect your
motorcycle before every ride and perform all
recommended maintenance. Never exceed
load limits, and only use accessories that
have been approved by Honda for this
motorcycle. See page 4 for more details.
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 every 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
trousers and a long-sleeved 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.
n WARNING
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance
of serious injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger always
wear a helmet, eye protection and other
protective apparel when you ride.
