OFF-ROAD SAFETY

This vehicle allows you to enjoy all
the excitement of riding it off-road. For
this, it is necessary to follow some
recommendations, which will tie off-road
excitement with safety.
Protective equipment
Essential for your safety. Make a rule of always
wearing them.
Helmet- essential equipment.
•
Goggles- the greater the visibility, the
•
better.
Choose goggles that do not break or
splinter.
Long- sleeved shirts having fillings in the
•
elbows and shoulders to protect against
eventual injuries in the arms.
Gloves- models with padded hand backs
•
are the most indicated for off-road riding.
Choose gloves that fit your hands.
Adbominal band- it protects internal
•
organs against off-road bumps.
Nylon trousers with protection in the knees
•
or reinforced jeans. They increase
protection. Choose the right size for your
proper freedom of motion.
Boots- they should be made of reinforced
•
leather with thick grooved soles and steel
tips. They should also be flexible and fit you
properly.

carry spare parts and those parts that were
removed from the vehicle.
Preparing the vehicle
For off-road practice, it is essential that your
vehicle is in perfect mechanical condition. The
front brake lever, clutch lever and turn signal
brackets should be loosened in order to rotate
in case of falling down, preventing breakage.
They should be loosened to turn on the
handlebars only with a slight force. Under
most adverse conditions, the rear view mirrors
and turn signals should be removed.

LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES

Your vehicle has been designed to carry you,
one pillion and limited amount of cargo. When
you add cargo or carry a passenger, you may
feel some difference during acceleration and
braking. But so long as you keep your vehicle
well maintained, with good tyres and brakes,
you can safely carry loads within the limits and
guidelines.
However exceeding the weight limit or
carrying an unbalanced load can seriously
affect your vehicle's handling, braking and
stability. Non

reduce your safety margin.
Loading
How much weight you put on your vehicle,
and how you load it, are important to your
safety. Anytime you ride with a pillion or cargo
