Safe Driving Tips/Guidelines - Royal Enfield Classic 500 Owner's Manual

Safe Riding Tips / Guidelines
Before operating your new motorcycle, it is your
responsibility to carefully read and follow the
operating and maintenance instructions detailed
in this manual for your own safety, your
motorcycle and that of others.
Know and respect the rules of the road. Be a
safe rider for your own safety and for other road
users.
Before starting the motorcycle, check for proper
operation of brakes, clutch, gear shifter, handle
bar controls, tyre pressures, fuel and oil levels.
Use only genuine Royal Enfield spare parts and
approved accessories. Use of other manu-
facturer's performance parts may affect the
performance of your motorcycle and render the
motorcycle void of warranty. See your Royal
Enfield dealer for details.
Whenever refuelling your motorcycle, please
exercise utmost caution and carefully observe
the following rules :
DO NOT smoke and please ensure that
there are no open flames or sparks near the
motorcycle, when refuelling OR servicing
the fuel system.
Switch OFF mobile phones and other hand
held electronic devices.
Open the fuel filler cap slowly.
Refuel in a well ventilated area with the
engine turned off.
DO NOT fill the tank to its brim. Please fill
fuel only till the bottom of the filler neck
insert, so as to leave air space in the fuel
tank to allow for fuel expansion.
Warning
Royal Enfield cautions you against the use of certain
nonstandard parts such as aftermarket and custom
made extended front forks or suspensions, which may
adversely affect performance and handling. Removing
or altering original parts may adversely affect
performance and could result in an accident.
