SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10286

Be a Responsible Owner

As the vehicle’s owner, you are re-

sponsible for the safe and proper op-

eration of your motorcycle.

Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.

Their safe use and operation are de-

pendent upon the use of proper riding

techniques as well as the expertise of

the operator. Every operator should

know the following requirements be-

fore riding this motorcycle.

He or she should:

●Obtain thorough instructions from

a competent source on all as-

pects of motorcycle operation.

●Observe the warnings and main-

tenance requirements in this

Owner’s Manual.

●Obtain qualified training in safe

and proper riding techniques.

●Obtain professional technical ser-

vice as indicated in this Owner’s

Manual and/or when made nec-

essary by mechanical conditions.

Safe Riding

Perform the pre-operation checks

each time you use the vehicle to make

sure it is in safe operating condition.

Failure to inspect or maintain the vehi-

cle properly increases the possibility

of an accident or equipment damage.

See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation

checks.

●This motorcycle is designed to

carry the operator and a passen-

ger.

●The failure of motorists to detect

and recognize motorcycles in traf-

fic is the predominating cause of

automobile/motorcycle acci-

dents. Many accidents have been

caused by an automobile driver

who did not see the motorcycle.

Making yourself conspicuous ap-

pears to be very effective in re-

ducing the chance of this type of

accident.

Therefore:

• Wear a brightly colored jacket.

• Use extra caution when you are

approaching and passing

through intersections, since in-

tersections are the most likely

places for motorcycle accidents

to occur.

• Ride where other motorists can

see you. Avoid riding in another

motorist’s blind spot.

●Many accidents involve inexperi-

enced operators. In fact, many

operators who have been in-

volved in accidents do not even

have a current motorcycle li-

cense.

• Make sure that you are quali-

fied and that you only lend your

motorcycle to other qualified

operators.

• Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits may

help you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you prac-

tice riding your motorcycle

where there is no traffic until
