THE SPORT OF

MOTORCYCLING

Your motorcycle and this owner's

manual have been designed by

people like you who enjoy motor-

cycling clists for many reasons

ers, street riding is fun and invigo-

rating

came a motorcyclist, or how expe-

rienced you are, you will eventually

face some challenging situations

89 90 92

In preparing for these challenges,

you will be fine-tuning your coordi-

nation, concentration, and attitude

Learning the skills and strategies

associated with motorcycling is the basis for safely participating in this

sport

. People become motorcy-

. For start-

. But no matter why you be-

. Many motorcyclists find that

as they become better riders, they

. . . .

also get more enjoyment from the

freedom unique to motorcycling

Please remember

Most accidents can be avoided

. The most common type of motorcycle accident in the U.S. occurs when a car traveling towards a motorcycle turns left in front of the motorcycle

. Is that because other drivers are out to get motorcyclists? No

. Other drivers simply don't al-

ways notice motorcyclists

Ride defensively clists use a strategy of assuming they are invisible to other drivers,

even in broad daylight

attention to other motorists, especially at intersections, because they

may not be paying attention to you

Select a lane position that gives you the best view of others, and other

motorists the best view of you Wear bright, reflective clothing

reflective strips on your helmet

If you don't have a helmet, buy

a helmet and wear it EVERY TIME YOU RIDE

Most accidents occur within a few

miles of home, and almost half oc-

cur at speeds of less than 30 mph

So even if you're just going on a

quick errand, be prepared strap on your helmet before you take off

Helmets do not reduce essential vision or hearing

mets do not cause or intensify injury if you crash

help your skull protect your intelli-

gence, your memory, your personality, and your life

Your eyesight is equally valuable Wearing suitable eye protection can help keep your vision unblurred by the wind and save your eyes from airborne hazards like bugs, dirt, or pebbles kicked up by tires

. Wise motorcy-

. Pay careful

. Generally, hel-

. Helmets simply

If a collision is imminent, DO SOMETHING Many riders fear locking up their brakes or haven't learned to swerve to avoid an accident rienced riders (and too many seasoned riders) use only their rear brake in an emergency, resulting in unnecessary impacts in some cases and unnecessarily high impact speeds in other cases rear brake can only provide about 30% of your motorcycle's potential stopping power brakes can and should be used together to maximize braking effectiveness

Experienced motorcyclists learn to "cover" the front brake lever by lightly resting a couple of fingers over the lever when riding in traffic and near intersections to give their reaction time a head start

Emergency stopping and swerving are techniques that you should practice and master before you find

yourself in an emergency situation The best place to practice such techniques is in a controlled envi-

ronment such as the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's (MSF) rider

training courses

cycle RiderCourses (fundamental

techniques) and Experienced

RiderCourses (advanced strate-

gies) present hands-on instruction of the basic principles of motorcycling and a variety of accidentavoidance maneuvers soned motorcyclist can improved

Special situations require special care Of course, there are some times

when full-force braking is not the

correct technique surface is wet, loose, or rough, you should brake with care

you're leaned over in a corner,

avoid braking braking

fore entering the corner

In these situations, the traction available between your tires and the road surface is limited Overbraking when traction is lim-

ited will cause your tires to skid,

possibly resulting in loss of directional control or causing you and your motorcycle to fall over

Know your limits Always ride within the boundaries of your own skills

limits and staying within them will

help you avoid accidents

A major cause of accidents involving only a motorcycle (and no cars) is going too fast through a turn

Before entering a turn, select an appropriately low cornering speed

Even on straight roads, ride at a speed that is appropriate for the

traffic, visibility and road conditions, your motorcycle, and your experience

Riding a motorcycle safely requires that your mental and physical skills are fully part of the experience should not attempt to operate a motor vehicle, especially one with two wheels, if you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs

. Alcohol, illegal drugs, and even some prescription and overthe-counter drugs can cause drowsiness, loss of coordination, loss of balance, and especially the loss of good judgment

Practice away from traffic Your riding skill and your mechanical knowledge form the foundation for safe riding practices gest that you practice riding your motorcycle in a non-traffic situation until you are thoroughly familiar with your machine and its controls Again, consider taking one of the MSF's RiderCourses will be pleased with the caliber of the information presented in these

NOTE

•

To help clean the air, Suzuki

recommends that you use the oxygenated fuels

•

Be sure that any oxygenated fuel you use has octane ratings

of at least 87 pump octane ((R+M)/2 method)

•

If you are not satisfied with the driveablity or fuel economy of

your motorcycle when you are

using an oxygenated fuel, you should switch back to regular

unleaded gasoline

•

If engine pinging is experienced,

substitute another brand as

there are differences between

brands

Spilled gasoline containing alcohol can harm your motorcycle painted surfaces

Be careful not to spill any fluid when filling the fuel tank spilled gasoline up immediately
