F. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY

3. CHECKING THE FACE SHIELD AND SUN VISOR

Before every journey, check that the mechanisms of the face
shield and sun visor are working properly and that the face
shield and sun visor will provide sufficiently clear visibility. Any
dirt should be removed before riding (for care instructions, see
Section H. 2.).
Check the face shield and sun visor for physical damage and
cracks. A badly scratched face shield will considerably impair your
vision and should be replaced before setting off on a journey.
Caution:
Never use tinted face shield or sun visor in conditions of poor
visibility, when riding at night or in a tunnel.
Caution:
A scratched and/or dirty face shield will seriously impair
visibility. For your own safety, replace it or clean it
immediately.
Caution:
Make sure the face shield and sun visor are always in perfect
condition. A damaged face shield is not suitable for riding
and needs to be replaced.
Caution:
Stop riding if visibility is poor.

4. CHECKING THE REFLEKTIVE AREAS

Before every journey, check that all the safety reflective areas are
clean.

G. FOR YOUR SAFETY

1. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING THE HELMET

Warning:
Never ride without a helmet!
Warning:
No helmet is as safe as riding safely!
Motorcycle riding has special personal hazards. The risks that
are being taken by riding a motorcycle can be reduced but
not eliminated by wearing a helmet. There are numerous
variations in accidents; the protective capability of a helmet
is difficult to measure at the time of purchase. It is impossible
to make definitive statements on the actual protective effect
of a helmet in the event of an accident. A safe riding technique
that is adjusted to the particular road and weather conditions
is essential for your safety.
Warning:
No helmet can protect the wearer against all
foreseeable impacts!
There are limits to the physical size and weight of the helmet
a person will wear. The ability of a helmet to protect the
wearer is limited. No helmet can protect the wearer against
all foreseeable impacts.
Warning:
Use only a helmet that fits snugly all around your
head. Fasten the chin-strap securely under your chin!
A helmet can provide protection only to the extent that
your head is covered with the helmet. The use of a properly
fitted, securely fastened helmet can lessen the risk of death
or permanent impairment due to head injury. For maximum
head protection, the helmet must be properly fitted and
should provide adequate peripheral vision. The retention
system must be correctly adjusted and securely fastened
under the chin. Failure to have a proper fit and to securely
fasten the helmet is dangerous as the helmet could come off
