2006 YAMAHA CYGNUS 125 turn signal

Turn right1.Be sure to signal clearly in the fol-
lowing situations:2.Braking can be extremely difficult on
a wet road. Avoid hard braking, since
the motorcycle may slide. Apply the
brakes slowly when stopping on a wet
surface.
3.Slow down when approaching a cor-
ner or turn, and accelerate slowly once
the turn has been completed.
4.Be careful when passing parked cars.
The driver might have not seen you and
open the door in a sudden.
5.Railroad crossings, streetcar rails, iron
plates on road construction sites, and
manhole covers will become extremely
slippery when wet. Slow down and cross
them with caution. Keep the motorcycle
upright, otherwise you may fall from the
motorcycle.
6.The brake pads could get wet whenyou wash the motorcycle. After wash-
ing the motorcycle, check the brakes
before riding.
7.Always wear a helmet, gloves, trou-
sers (tapered around the cuff and ankle
so they would not flap), and a bright
color jacket.
8.Do not carry too much luggage on
the motorcycle. Overloaded motor-
cycles are unstable. Please secure the
luggage to the rear rack with a firm
rope. Unfastened luggage will affect
the stability of the motorcycle and di-
vert your attention from the road
condition.
9.When riding the motorcycle in the
littoral, since the salinity in the air is
higher, this will speedup the corrosion
of the iron parts, you should wash the
motorcycle more frequently.Turn left
