    Safety Precautions Safe Riding Practices Follow these general safe riding practices: Before you ride, make sure you can operate the motorcycle safely and properly by following the recommendations given at the beginning of the Safety Precautions section on page 3. Each time you ride, make the checks described in the Pre- -Operation Check section.
  • Page 20 Safety Precautions Safe Riding Practices (continued) The most common cause of accidents involving a motorcycle and an automobile is the automobile driver’s failure to see the motorcycle. Ride defensively, as if you are invisible to other motorists, even in broad daylight. Ride where you are visible to other motorists and observe their behavior carefully, as they may not see or be aware of you.
  • Page 21 Safety Precautions Safe Riding Practices (continued) If in doubt, reduce your speed when: - - The weather is windy, raining, or otherwise causing slippery or rapidly changing conditions. - - The traffic is heavy, congested, not allowing sufficient space between vehicles, or otherwise not flowing smoothly.

  • Page 22: Carrying A Passenger

    Safety Precautions Safe Riding Practices (continued) Ground clearance is reduced when you lean the motorcycle. Do not allow components to contact the road surface when leaning the motorcycle in a curve, as this could cause you to lose control of the motorcycle. Retract the sidestand fully before riding.

  • Page 23: Protective Apparel

    Safety Precautions Carrying a Passenger (continued) Adjust your riding style to compensate for the differences in handling, acceleration, and braking caused by the additional weight of the passenger. Failure to do so can cause you to lose control of the motorcycle.

  • Page 24: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (Gvwr)

    Safety Precautions Protective Apparel (continued) Wear heavy boots and pants to prevent or reduce abrasions, lacerations, or burns that you can suffer if you fall. Wear boots with low heels because boots with high heels can catch on pedals or footrests. The combination of your boots and pants should completely cover your legs, ankles, and feet, protecting you from engine and exhaust system heat.

The more quickly you open the throttle, the more quickly the motorcycle accelerates.

  • Page 80: Braking

    Operation Braking To slow the motorcycle with the brakes, close the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes evenly. As the motorcycle slows, either disengage the clutch or downshift each time your speed reaches a downshift point. Applying slightly more front brake than rear brake generally gives you the best braking performance. Do not apply the brakes so forcefully or quickly that either wheel stops rotating.

  • Page 81: Stopping The Engine

    Operation Stopping the Engine Before stopping the engine, bring the motorcycle to a complete stop either in neutral or with the clutch disengaged. Once the motorcycle is at a complete stop, if it is not already in neutral, shift into neutral.
