MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your motorcycle can provide you many years of service and
pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges that you can meet on the road. There
is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You
will find many helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Here are some very important safety tips:
Wear a helmet
Motorcycle safety equipment starts with a quality helmet. One
of the most serious injuries you can suffer in a crash is a head
injury. Always wear a properly approved helmet. You should
also wear suitable eye protection.
Make yourself easy to see
To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing,
position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before
turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help
others notice you.
Know your limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you to avoid
accidents.
Keep your motorcycle in safe condition
For safe riding, it's important to inspect your motorcycle before
every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been
approved by KYMCO for this motorcycle.
Inspect your motorcycle before riding
Do not forget to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure
the safety of you and your passenger before each ride.
Be extra safety conscious on bad weather days
Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires extra caution. Braking distance can double on a rainy day. Stay
off of the painted surfaces, manhole covers and greasy appearing areas on the pavement, as they can be especially slippery. Use extreme caution at railway crossings and on metal
gratings and bridges. Whenever your are in doubt about the
road conditions, slow down.
Modification
Modification of your motorcycle, or removal of original equipment may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obey all applicable equipment regulations in your area.

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, always wear an approved motorcycle helmet,
eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved
shirt or jacket whenever you ride your motorcycle.
Helmets and protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. Your
helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and to aid
your vision.
Additional riding gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, you should also use:
• Sturdy boots with nonslip soles to help protect your
feet and ankles
• Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises
• A motorcycle riding suit or jacket that has been designed for comfort as well as protection. Bright colored
and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid any loose clothing that
might get caught on any part of your motorcycle.

injury or death in a crash.

Be sure you and your passenger always wear approved
motorcycle helmets that fit properly. You should also wear
eye protection and other protective apparel when you ride.
RIDING & LOADING GUIDELINES
Your riding position
The riding stability of your motorcycle is influenced by your
riding position. When riding, you should sit on the center of the
seat. If you sit on the rear of the seat you could reduce the
amount of weight on the front wheel. This could affect the handling and steering characteristics of the motorcycle.
Your motorcycle will turn more smoothly if you lean your body
into the turn. Use caution with extreme leaning or handlebar
inputs that could upset the chassis.
When riding your motorcycle on a rough or slippery road, reduce your speed and hold the handlebars firmly. Be prepared
to brake or turn to avoid a road hazard.
Load limits
These specifications are the load limits for your Quannon motorcycle. These general guidelines may help you decide how to add
accessories to your motorcycle and how to load it properly.
Overloading will affect the motorcycle’s stability and handling,
be sure to stay within the limits given below:
Maximum weight capacity (Includes the weight of the rider,
passenger, cargo and accessories): ...... 810 lbs (368 kg)
Maximum cargo weight:........................... 308 Ibs (140 kg)
Loading guidelines
Improperly loading your motorcycle will affect its stability and handling. You should ride at reduced speeds when you are carrying a
passenger or cargo. Follow these guidelines whenever you carry
a passenger or cargo:
• Check that both tires are properly inflated
• To prevent loose items from creating a hazard, make
sure all cargo is securely tied down before you ride
• Balance cargo weight evenly on the motorcycle
Overloading or improper loading will affect vehicle handling, stability and braking, and can lead to an accident.
Never exceed the stated load capacity of your motorcycle.
Cargo should be properly distributed and securely at-
tached. Reduce speed when carrying cargo. Allow greater
distance for braking.

ACCESSORIES, MODIFICATION & CAUTION LABELS
Accessories
There is a large variety of accessories available to KYMCO
motorcycle owners. KYMCO cannot have direct control over
the quality or suitability of accessories you may wish to purchase. The addition of unsuitable accessories to your motorcycle can lead to unsafe operating conditions. It is not possible for KYMCO to test each accessory on the market or combinations of all the available accessories; however, your
KYMCO dealer can assist you in selecting and installing quality accessories.
Use extreme caution when selecting and installing the accessories for your motorcycle.
No modifications
KYMCO strongly advises you against removing any original
equipment or modifying your motorcycle in any way that would
change its design or operation.
Improper accessories or modifications can make your
motorcycle unsafe and can lead to an accident.
Never modify your motorcycle through the improper
installation or use of accessories. All parts and accessories added to this vehicle should be genuine
KYMCO or equivalent components designed for use
on this motorcycle, and should be installed and used
according to instruction. If you have any questions,
consult an authorized KYMCO dealer.
