(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.
