SAFETY OPERATION
Safe Riding Tips
The following items are applicable for daily motorcycle use and should be carefully observed for safe and
effective vehicle operation:
For safety, goggles and a helmet are strongly recommended. You must be aware of traffic regulations for
the safe riding. Safe riding gear such as gloves and suitable footwear should also be used for protection.
Wear protective apparel when riding in case of any collision with other vehicles. Without protective
apparel, no safety can be ensured. Before changing lanes, look over your shoulder to make sure the way
is safe. Do not rely solely on the rear-view mirrors. You must judge distance and speed of other cycles, or
accidents may occur.
When climbing up steep slopes, shift to a lower gear to increase the motor's torque output, thus avoiding
overloading�
When applying the brakes, apply both the front and rear brakes at the same time. Applying only one brake
for sudden braking may cause the motorcycle to skid and lose control.
When going down long downhill slopes, control vehicle speed by releasing the throttle. Use the front and
rear brakes for auxiliary braking.
In wet conditions, rely more on the throttle to control vehicle speed and less on the front and rear brakes.
The throttle should also be used judiciously to avoid skidding the rear wheel during rapid acceleration or
deceleration�
Riding at the proper speed and avoiding unnecessary acceleration are important not only for safety and
low fuel consumption, but also for longer vehicle life and quieter operation.
When riding in wet conditions or on loose roadway surfaces, vehicle performance will be reduced. All
