Ride Off-Road Only
Your motorcycle is designed and
manufactured for off-road use only. The
tyres are not made for pavement, and the
motorcycle does not have turn signals and
other features required for use on public
roads. If you need to cross a paved or public
road, get off and walk your motorcycle
across.
Take Time to Learn and Practice
Developing off-road riding skills is a
gradual, step-by-step process. Start by
practicing at low speeds in a safe area and
slowly build your skills. Personal
instruction from an experienced rider can
also be valuable.
If you need assistance, ask your dealer
about riding groups in your area.

Be Alert for Off-Road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of
challenges when you ride off -road.
Continually ''read'' the terrain for
unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts,
and other hazards. Always keep your speed
low enough to allow time to see and react to
hazards.
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of
motorcycle crashes. Never ride beyond
your personal abilities or faster than
conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol,
drugs, fatigue and inattention can
significantly reduce your ability to make
good judgements and ride safely.
