motorist’s blind spot.
Never maintain a motorcycle without proper knowledge. Con-
tact an authorized motorcycle
dealer to inform you on basic
motorcycle maintenance. Cer-
tain maintenance can only be
carried out by certified staff.

Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators.
Make sure that you are qualifiedand that you only lend your mo-
torcycle to other qualified opera-
tors.
Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
We recommend that you prac- tice riding your motorcycle until
you have become thoroughly fa-
miliar with the motorcycle and all
of its controls.

Many accidents have been caused
by error of the motorcycle opera-
tor. A typical error made by the op-
erator is veering wide on a turn
due to excessive speed or under-
cornering (insufficient lean angle
for the speed). Always obey the speed limit and
never travel faster than warrant-
ed by road and traffic conditions.
Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.

Ride cautiously in unfamiliar ar-
eas. You may encounter hidden
obstacles that could cause an ac-
cident.

The posture of the operator is im-
portant for proper control. The op-
erator should keep both hands on
the handlebar and both feet on the
operator footrests during operation
to maintain control of the motorcy-
cle.

Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
Protective Apparel
The majority of fatalities from motorcy-
cle accidents are the result of head in-
juries. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the preven-
tion or reduction of head injuries.

Always wear an approved helmet.

Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment
of vision that could delay seeing a
hazard.

The use of a jacket, heavy boots,
trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in
preventing or reducing abrasions
or lacerations.

Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the
control levers, footrests, or wheels
and cause injury or an accident.

Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and
feet. The engine or exhaust sys-
tem become very hot during or af-
ter operation and can cause burns.
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-
bon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-
sion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-
less, tasteless gas which may be pres-
ent even if you do not see or smell any
engine exhaust. Deadly levels of car-
bon monoxide can collect rapidly and
you can quickly be overcome and un-

12 tie-downs or suitable straps that
are attached to solid parts of the
motorcycle, such as the frame or
upper front fork triple clamp (and
not, for example, to rubber-mount-
ed handlebars or turn signals, or
parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.

The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the
tie-downs, if possible, so that the
motorcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.
