CHECKS BEFORE RIDING
Review thoroughly the instructions in the
"CHECK BEFORE RIDING" section of this manual.
Do not forget to perform all the safety checks to
ensure the safety of the rider.
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE
MOTORCYCLE
Your riding skill and your mechanical knowledge
form the safe riding practices. We suggest that you
practice riding your motorcycle in an non - traffic
situation without obstacles until you are thoroughly
familiar with your machine and its controls.
Remember that practice makes perfect.
KNOW YOUR SAFETY SPEED 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.
BE EXTRA SAFETY CONSCIOUS ON BAD
WEATHER DAYS
Riding on bad weather days, especially wet
ones, requires extra caution. Braking distance
doubles on a rainy day. Stay off 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
grating and bridges. Whenever in doubt about road
condition. SLOW DOWN!
AUTOMOBILE/MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
PREVENTION
Many automobile/motorcycle accidents happen
because the automobile driver does not "SEE" the
motorcyclist.
Make yourself conspicuous to help avoid the
accident that wasn't your fault:
Wear bright or reflective clothing.
Don't ride in another motorist's "blind spot".
Signal before you make a turn or lane change.
Your size and maneuverability can surprise other
motorists.

safety. Therefore, you should be careful for the
choice and installation of accessories.
(5)Certain accessories displace the rider from his
normal riding position. This will not only limits the
freedom of movement of the rider, but also his
control ability.
(6)Extra electrical accessories may overload 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 motorcycle. An improperly mounted load can
create a high center of gravity which is very
dangerous and make the motorcycle difficult to
handle. The size of a load can affect the
aerodynamics and the handling of the motorcycle.
Balance the load between the left and right side of
the motorcycle and fasten is firmly.
