Your Suzuki JR50 was designed

for use by children, but this

owner’s manual is written for the

adult who will be supervising the

children. Suzuki strongly recom-

mends, therefore, that you review

this entire manual with your child.

Carefully explain the instructions

requirements, and warnings this

manual contains so your child can

understand them. Question your

child as you go through the man-

ual to make sure he or she under-

stand what you are saying. It is

your responsibility to ensure that

this motorcycle is properly and

safely ridden and maintained.

Children differ in skills, strength

and judgement, and some chil-

dren may not be able to operate

youth-size motorcycles safely. You

should always supervise your

child’s use of the motorcycle. Per-

mit continued use only if you

determine that the child has the

ability to operate the motorcycle

safely. Note that children can

become so excited and impatient

that they forget the importance of

safety precautions.

JR50_03A.book Page 3 Tuesday, April 12, 2005 5:06 PM

Tips for supervising the young

rider.

Your child’s safety depends on

your commitment to take the time

necessary to fully educate him or

her on the proper operation of the

JR50. Remember that proper

instruction before your child

begins to ride is as important as

proper instruction and supervision

during riding.

Wear protective gear.

A helmet is the most important

piece of gear to wear off-highway,

where visibility and trail conditions

can vary greatly from section to

section and season to season.

These changes are sometimes

unpredictable, and can cause

even an experienced rider to have

an accident. Helmets do not

reduce essential vision or hear-

ing.

Generally, helmets do not cause

or intensify injury if the rider

crashes. Helmets simply help

your child’s skull protect his or her

intelligence, memory, personality,

and life.

Your child’s eyesight is equally

valuable. Wearing eye protection

can help keep his or her vision

unblurred by the wind and help

shield his or her eyes from

branches and airborne matter like

bugs, dirt, or pebbles kicked up by

tires. Have your child wear a hel-

met and eye protection every time

he or she rides.

WARNING

Allowing a child to operate this

motorcycle without adult

supervision can be hazardous.

Without supervision, the child

may ride beyond his or her abil-

ities and lose control of the

motorcycle.

Never let your child ride a

motorcycle without close adult

supervision. Take action if your

child begins to ride beyond his

or her abilities. Introduce new

riding areas slowly and make

sure the riding area matches

your child’s skill level.

JR50_03A.book Page 4 Tuesday, April 12, 2005 5:06 PM

Outfit your child in proper clothing

when he or she rides. Avoid loose

clothes or scarves, which could

get caught in moving parts. Abra-

sion injuries can be minimized by

wearing protective clothing includ-

ing gloves, strong boots that fit

over the ankle, long pants, and

long sleeve shirt or jacket. Experi-

enced riders often wear a kidney

belt and chest or back protector

for additional comfort and protec-

tion.

Getting to know the JR50.

Your child should become com-

pletely familiar with the names

and functions of all controls. Let

the young rider sit on the bike,

with the engine off, and ask him or

her to operate specific controls.

Demonstrate proper operation of

the controls. Ask the child to apply

the brakes, operate the engine

stop switch, shift lever, etc. Prac-

tice this exercise until the child

can operate all the controls with-

out hesitation and without looking

at them.

SUZUKI recommends first use of

the motorcycle in a safe, flat open

area so the rider can become

familiar with the controls, opera-

tion, and handling characteristics

of the motorcycle.

Go over the INSPECTION

BEFORE RIDING section with

your child until he or she knows all

the items that should be checked

and how they should be checked.

Give examples of things to look

for. Before each use, an adult

should perform an inspection with

the rider.

Starting off and stopping.

To help your child develop confi-

dence, he or she should PRAC-

TICE FIRST WITH THE ENGINE

OFF, as follows:

1. Have your child sit on the bike

while you balance and push he

motorcycle from behind.

2. As you push the bike, instruct

your child to operate the con-

trols, as described above. The

child should be looking straight

ahead, not down at the con-

trols.

Practice with the engine off until

your child gets the feel of using

the controls without hesitation and

without looking at them. Then

start the engine and have your

child practice starting off, shifting

into Drive, riding in a straight line

and coming to a complete stop.

Walk alongside the motorcycle.

Watch closely to make sure the

rider:

1. Operates the throttle smoothly

to start moving gradually.

2. Releases the throttle then

applies the front and rear

brakes evenly and shifts to

neutral when stopping.

JR50_03A.book Page 5 Tuesday, April 12, 2005 5:06 PM

Practice this exercise until your

child can start off, accelerate, and

stop correctly and with confi-

dence. Slowly introduce new

maneuvers into this routine as the

child becomes more comfortable

with the motorcycle, such as turn-

ing and stopping quickly on your

signal.

Inspect the machine before

riding.

Review the instructions in the

“INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING”

section of this manual. Perform an

entire pre-ride inspection with

your child before heading out on

the trail. Spending a few minutes

preparing the machine for a ride

can help prevent accidents due to

mechanical failure or costly,

inconvenient breakdowns.

Specific additional safety items to

be considered include:

• Supervise operation of this

motorcycle AT ALL TIMES.

• Do not allow the rider to oper-

ate the motorcycle beyond his

riding ability.

• Use of the motorcycle should

be controlled by the parents in

relation to the rider’s age (not

recommended for children

under 7 years old), physique,

and operating intelligence and

maturity.

• Beware of hazardous situa-

tions and instruct the rider to

beware of hazardous situa-

tions.

• Before first use of the motorcy-

cle, read this owner’s manual

carefully to become familiar

with the features, and safety

and maintenance require-

ments of the motorcycle,

instruct and review these items

with rider.

Remember: With your help and

supervision, your child can

become a skilled rider.
