SAFE RIDING
RECOMMENDATION FOR
MOTORCYCLE RIDERS
Motorcycle riding is great fun and an excit-
ing sport. Motorcycle riding also requires
that some extra precautions be taken to
ensure the safety of the rider and passen-
ger. These precautions are:
WEAR A HELMET
Motorcycle safety equipment starts with a
quality helmet. One of the most serious inju-
ries that can happen is a head injury.
ALWAYS wear a properly approved helmet.
You should also wear suitable eye protec-
tion.

RIDING APPAREL

Loose, fancy clothing can be uncomfortable
and unsafe when riding your motorcycle.
Choose good quality motorcycle riding
apparel when riding your motorcycle.

INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING

Review thoroughly the instructions in the
"INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING" section of
this manual. Do not forget to perform an
entire safety inspection to ensure the safety
of the rider and its passenger.
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE
MOTORCYCLE
Your riding skill and your mechanical knowl-
edge form the foundation for safe riding
practices. We suggest that you practice
riding your motorcycle in a non-traffic situa-
tion until you are thoroughly familiar with
your machine and its controls. Remember
practice makes perfect.
