CONSUMER

INFORMATION

SAFE RIDING

RECOMMENDATION

FOR MOTORCYCLE RIDERS

● Before each use, perform daily

inspections with the rider. Specific items to check are listed in the INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING section on page 55 of this owner’s manual.

● Make sure the rider wears a helmet,

eye protection, and protective clothing (gloves, leather or heavy cloth pants, long sleeved shirt or jacket, boots).

● Permit use only by two persons. The motorcycle is designed for use

only by one rider and one passenger.

● Do not permit anyone to operate the 『

』 under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs. It may cause damage to the motorcycle and alter handling characteristics.

● Observe periodic maintenance

requirements. Your authorized HYOSUNG dealer is trained and equipped to perform this service.

● Drain gasoline from the fuel tank

prior to transporting the

『

』.

● Caution the rider and others near the 『

』 not to get close to or

touch any moving parts or any heated areas such as the engine and exhaust system.

● Do not make any modifications to the 『

』.

Modifications may make the

motorcycle unsafe or illegal in your state.

WARNING

The 『』 is equipped with the side stand ignition interlock system. If the transmission is in neutral or the side stand up, you can only start the engine by squeezing the clutch lever. This side stand ignition interlock system prevents the motorcycle from being started with side stand down. Make sure that the side stand ignition interlock system is working properly before riding.

While operating the 『

』, the

rider should keep both feet on the footrests at all times to avoid injuries resulting from accidents. Moving the rider’s feet from the footrests reduces the rider’s ability to control the motorcycle and could lead to an accident.

Always open the throttle gradually to prevent front wheel lifting. Failure to observe this precaution may result in loss of control and an accident.

Keep both hands on the handgrips at all times when riding. Removing your hands from the handgrips reduces your ability to control the motorcycle and could result in an accident.

● Do not run the engine indoors or

where there is little or no ventilation. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a potentially lethal gas that is colorless and odorless.

● Never leave the motorcycle running

while unattended, even for a short time.

WARNING

⊙ WEAR A HELMET

⊙ RIDING APPAREL

⊙ INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING

Motorcycle safety equipment starts with a quality safety helmet. One of the most serious injuries that can happen is a head injury. ALWAYS wear a properly approved helmet. You should also wear a suitable eye protection.

Do not turn the ignition switch to its “OFF” or “LOCK” position or the engine stop switch to its “ ” position while riding the motorcycle.

Loose clothing can be uncomfortable and unsafe when riding a motorcycle. Use good quality motorcycle riding apparel when riding your motorcycle.

Review thoroughly the instructions in the “INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING” section of this manual. Do not forget to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure the safety of the rider and its passenger.

⊙ FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE MOTORCYCLE

⊙ KNOW YOUR LIMITS

⊙ BE EXTRA SAFETY CONSCIOUS

ON BAD WEATHER DAYS

WARNING

Your riding skill and mechanical knowledge from the foundation for safe riding practices. We suggest that you practice riding your motorcycle in a non-traffic situation until you are thoroughly familiar with your machine and its controls. Remember practice makes perfect.

Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you to avoid accidents.

Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires extra caution. Braking distances double on a rainy day. Stay off of the painted surface marks, manhole covers and greasy appearing areas as they can be especially slippery. Use extreme caution at railway crossings and on metal gratings and bridges. Whenever you have a doubt about road condition, slow down!

WARNING

There are a great variety of accessories available to Hyosung owners. Hyosung can not have direct control over the quality or suitability of accessories you may wish to purchase except genuine parts.

The addition of unsuitable accessories can lead to unsafe operating conditions. It is not possible for Hyosung to test each accessory on the market or combinations of all the available accessories, however, your dealer can assist you in selecting quality accessories and installing them correctly.

Use extreme caution when selecting and installing the accessories for your Hyosung. We have developed some general guidelines which will aid you when deciding whether, and how to equip your motorcycle.

1. In case that additional weight or aerodynamic affecting accessories are installed, they should be mounted as low as possible, as close to the motorcycle and as near the center of gravity as is feasible. The mounting brackets and other attachment hardware should be carefully checked to ensure that it provides for a rigid, nonmovable mount. Weak mounts can allow the shifting of the weight and create a dangerous, unstable condition.

2. In spect for proper ground clearance and bank angle. An improperly mounted load could critically reduce these two safety factors. Also determine that the “load” does not interfere with the operation of the suspension, steering or other control operations.

3. A ccessories fitted to the handlebars or

the front fork area can create serious stability problems. This extra weight will cause the motorcycle to be less responsive to your steering control. The weight may also cause oscillations in the front end and lead to instability problems. Accessories added to the machine should be as light as possible and kept to a minimum.

4. T he motorcycle may be affected by a

lifting condition or by an instability in cross winds or when being passed or passing large vehicles. Improperly mounted or poorly designed accessories can result in an unsafe riding condition, therefore caution should be used when selecting and installing all accessories.

ACCESSORY

INSTALLATION AND

PRECAUTION SAFETY TIPS

Improper accessories or modifications can make your motorcycle unsafe and can lead to an accident.

Never modify the motorcycle with improper or poorly installed accessories. Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding accessories and modifications. Use genuine Hyosung accessories or equivalent designed and tested for your motorcycle. Consult your Hyosung dealer if you have any questions.

Modification of the motorcycle, or removal of original equipment may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal.

Obey all applicable equipment regulations in your area.

MODIFICATION

5. Certain accessories displace the rider from his or her normal riding position. This limits the freedom of movement of the rider and may limit his or her control ability.

6. Additional electrical accessories may damage the existing electrical system. Severe overloads may damage the wiring harness or create a dangerous situation due to the loss of electrical power during the operation of the motorcycle.

When carrying a load on the motorcycle, mount it as low as possible and as close as possible to the machine. An improperly mounted load can create a high center of gravity which is very dangerous and makes the motorcycle difficult to handle. The size of the “load” can also affect the aerodynamics and handling of the motorcycle.

Balance the load between the left and right side of the motorcycle and fasten it securely.
