    • Be aware of the fact that as a responsible rider, you must always know the condition of your vehicle, especially the condition of those systems that directly correlate to bike safety. • Read this manual in its entirety before riding your AMERICAN IRONHORSE. Follow all of the recommendations, danger, warnings and caution information.
  • Page 7 S A F E T Y • REMEMBER THAT THE INCIDENCE OF HAVING A MOTORCYCLE MISHAP GENERALLY INCREASES WITH VEHICLE SPEED. • Before starting your engine and setting off on a ride, always visually and manually check the condition of your vehicle to ensure proper operation, especially the condition of tires, brakes, throttle, clutch, vehicle indicator lights, headlamp, signal and brake lamps and turning radius freedom.
  • Page 8 CREATE AN UNSTABLE CONDITION THAT COULD LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER ADD A SIDECAR TO YOUR AMERICAN IRONHORSE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT DESIGNED OR CONSTRUCTED FOR SUCH USE. • The vehicle’s exhaust system becomes very hot from normal operation. Always wear appropriate clothing to prevent direct skin contact with exhaust pipes and mufflers.
