Ride within Your Limits
Never ride beyond your personal abilities or
faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and
inattention can impair your ability to use good
judgment and ride safely.
Don't Drink or Use Drugs and Ride
Alcohol or drugs and riding don't mix. Even one
alcoholic drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions, and your
reaction time gets worse with every additional
drink. The same is true for drug use. Don't drink
or use and ride, and don't let your friends do it
either.
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It's important to keep your vehicle properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if
you are stranded off-road far from your base.
Inspect your vehicle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits ( P. 17), and do not modify
2
your vehicle or install accessories that would
make your vehicle unsafe (
If You are Involved in a Crash
Personal safety is your first priority. If you or
anyone else has been injured, take time to assess
the severity of the injuries and whether it is safe
to continue riding. Call for emergency assistance
if needed. Also follow applicable laws and
regulations if another person or vehicle is
involved in the crash.
If you decide to continue riding, first turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position, and evaluate
the condition of your vehicle. Inspect for fluid
leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and
bolts, and check the handlebar, control levers,
brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously.
Your vehicle may have suffered damage that is
not immediately apparent. Have your vehicle
thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility
as soon as possible.
