1. PRECAUTIONS FOR A SAFE RIDING

(1) CLOTHES

y To relax and wear comfortable clothes are the

main points for a safe riding.

y To observe traffic laws, keep a cool mind, relax

and be careful will provide you a safe riding.

cWear helmet and fasten it tightly.
dHave the clothes well-arranged. Fasten shirt

cuffs and keep them from hooking the brake
lever.

eWear low-heeled shoes for a safe riding.
fWhen riding, use both hands to grasp the

handlebar. It is very dangerous to hold the
handlebar with one hand.

n CAUTION:

y A motorcycle rider should not wear loose or too

long clothes to avoid danger.

(2) RIDING METHOD

y The safety of two-wheel vehicles is influenced by

sitting position. The rider should sit on the central
part of the seat cushion. If the rider sits on the
rear part of the seat, the load of front wheel will
decrease. As a result, the handlebar will swing
and cause danger to the rider.

y When making a turn, it will be easier for the rider

to steer the motorcycle by leaning the body inward
slightly. The m otorcycle will lose its balance if the
rider fails to keep his body leaning inward.

y When riding on a damaged or macadam road.

Slow down the speed and hold the handlebar
tightly.

(3) CARRYING GOODS

y Keep a good sitting posture to operate the

motorcycle properly.

y The feel of the handlebar will be different when

carrying goods on the motorcycle. Overloading
may cause the handlebar to swing. Avoid riding
with overload.

cMax. loading capacity of the met-in box is 10kg.
dMax. loading capacity of the front tool box is

1.5kg.

eMax. loading capacity of the rear carrier is 5kg.
