Starting Engine - Suzuki RM85 Owner's Service Manual

NOTE:
For practice, choose a level ground free of traffic and spacious
enough to permit driving several yards with the engine powered.
In short, break-in the young rider gradually.
CLOTHING
Rule 4. Wear simple clothes
Loose fitting clothes are unsafe for riding. Loose belts and
scarves, loose trimming etc. can be dangerous.
Rule 5. Avoid scanty clothes
Do not ride wearing short pants or short-sleeve shirt. A large
part of riding fatigue comes from loss of body heat due to wind.
Abrasive injuries can be avoided by protection clothing.
Rule 6. Avoid stiff clothes
Make sure that knee and elbow actions are free, and that torso
bending is not interferred with. Free body movements are
essential for safe riding.
NOTE:
The helmet, gloves, boots, goggles and jacket are essential
items of clothing.
