Inspection Before Riding - Suzuki LT-F160 2006 Owner's Manual

Before you begin riding, you should
find a good place to practice the skills
you need to ride safely. Find a flat,
open area with enough space to prac-
tice new skills.
Make sure that it is legal to ride in the
area you have selected. Review local
laws to make sure you are not tres-
passing. Check with your ATV dealer
or call your local park ranger or police
department if you do not know where
you can ride.
Protect your riding areas. When you
ride, remember to keep the terrain in
good condition. Don't destroy plant
life. Don't litter and don't bother wild-
life. With your help, your riding areas
can remain open for you to use in the
future.
After you have found a good place to
practice, review the controls on your
ATV before riding. Learn to find these
controls without looking for them. You
will not have time to look for them
when you are riding.
