Safe Riding Practices
• When approaching a curve, choose a speed and lean angle that allows you to pass through the curve in your own
lane without applying the brakes. Excessive speed, improper lean angle or braking in a curve can cause loss of con-
trol.
• Ground clearance is reduced when the motorcycle leans. Do not allow components to contact the road surface
when leaning the motorcycle in a curve, as this could cause loss of control.
• Retract the sidestand fully before riding. If the sidestand is not fully retracted, it could contact the road surface and
cause loss of control.
• Do not tow a trailer. Towing a trailer can make the motorcycle hard to handle, which could cause loss of control.
