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.

Not wearing a helmet increases your chance of serious injury or death in a crash.

1Wear bright or reflective clothing. Your clothes should fit properly (not too tight or loose)

2Always wear a helmet and wear eye protection

3Your footwear should be the proper size, have low heels, and offer ankle protection

4Wear gloves and always ride with both hands grasping the handlebars

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 attached. 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.
