THE SPORT OF

MOTORCYCLING

Your motorcycle and this owner’s

manual have been designed by

people like you who enjoy motor-

cycling. People become motorcy-

clists for many reasons. For

starters, street riding is fun and

invigorating. But no matter why

you became a motorcyclist, or

how experienced you are, you will

eventually face some challenging

situations.

In preparing for these challenges,

you will be fine-tuning your coordi-

nation, concentration, and atti-

tude. Learning the skills and

strategies associated with motor-

cycling is the basis for safely par-

ticipating in this sport. Many

motorcyclists find that as they

become better riders, they also

get more enjoyment from the free-

dom unique to motorcycling.

Please remember:

MOST ACCIDENTS CAN BE

AVOIDED

The most common type of motor-

cycle accident in the U.S. occurs

when a car traveling towards a

motorcycle turns left in front of the

motorcycle. Is that because other

drivers are out to get motorcy-

clists? No. Other drivers simply

don’t always notice motorcyclists.

Ride defensively. Wise motorcy-

clists use a strategy of assuming

they are invisible to other drivers,

even in broad daylight. Pay care-

ful attention to other motorists,

especially at intersections,

because they may not be paying

attention to you. Select a lane

position that gives you the best

view of others, and other motor-

ists the best view of you. Wear

bright, reflective clothing. Put

reflective strips on your helmet.

IF YOU DON’T HAVE A HELMET -

BUY A HELMET, AND WEAR IT

EVERY TIME YOU RIDE

Most accidents occur within a few

miles of home, and almost half

occur at speeds of less than 30

mph. So even if you’re just going

on a quick errand, be prepared –

strap on your helmet before you

take off.

Helmets do not reduce essential

vision or hearing. Generally, hel-

mets do not cause or intensify

injury if you crash. Helmets simply

help your skull protect your intelli-

gence, your memory, your per-

sonality, and your life.

Your eyesight is equally valuable.

Wearing suitable eye protection

can help keep your vision

unblurred by the wind and save

your eyes from airborne hazards

like bugs, dirt, or pebbles kicked

up by tires.

1-3

IF A COLLISION IS IMMINENT,

DO SOMETHING!

Many riders fear locking up their

brakes or haven’t learned to

swerve to avoid an accident.

Many inexperienced riders (and

too many seasoned riders) use

only their rear brake in an emer-

gency, resulting in unnecessary

impacts in some cases and

unnecessarily high impact speeds

in other cases. Your rear brake

can only provide about 30% of

your motorcycle’s potential stop-

ping power. The front and rear

brakes can and should be used

together to maximize braking

effectiveness.

Experienced motorcyclists learn

to “cover” the front brake lever by

lightly resting a couple of fingers

over the lever when riding in traffic

and near intersections to give

their reaction time a head start.

Emergency stopping and swerv-

ing are techniques that you

should practice and master before

you find yourself in an emergency

situation. The best place to prac-

tice such techniques is in a con-

trolled environment such as the

Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s

(MSF) rider training courses. The

MSF’s Motorcycle Rider Courses

(fundamental techniques) and

Experienced Rider Courses

(advanced strategies) present

hands-on instruction of the basic

principles of motorcycling and a

variety of accident-avoidance

maneuvers. Even a seasoned

motorcyclist can improve his or

her riding skills, and pick up a few

new skills, through these courses.

Some insurance companies even

offer discounts to course gradu-

ates.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS REQUIRE

SPECIAL CARE

Of course, there are some times

when full-force braking is not the

correct technique. When the road

surface is wet, loose, or rough,

you should brake with care. When

you’re leaned over in a corner,

avoid braking. Straighten up

before braking. Better yet, slow

down before entering a corner.

In these situations, the traction

available between your tires and

the road surface is limited. Over-

braking when traction is limited

will cause your tires to skid, possi-

bly resulting in loss of directional

control or causing you and your

motorcycle to fall over.

1-4

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

Always ride within the boundaries

of your own skills. Knowing these

limits and staying within them will

help you avoid accidents.

A major cause of accidents involv-

ing only a motorcycle (and no

cars) is going too fast through a

turn. Before entering a turn, select

an appropriately low cornering

speed. Even on straight roads,

ride at a speed that is appropriate

for the traffic, visibility and road

conditions, your motorcycle, and

your experience.

Riding a motorcycle safely

requires that your mental and

physical skills are fully part of the

experience. You should not

attempt to operate a motor vehi-

cle, especially one with two

wheels, if you are tired or under

the influence of alcohol or other

drugs. Alcohol, illegal drugs, and

even some prescription and over-

the-counter drugs can cause

drowsiness, loss of coordination,

loss of balance, and especially

the loss of good judgment. If you

are tired or under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs, PLEASE

DO NOT RIDE your motorcycle.

BEEXTRASAFETY-CONSCIOUS

ON BAD WEATHER DAYS

Riding on bad weather days,

especially wet ones, requires

extra caution. Braking distances

increase on a rainy day. Stay off

the painted surface marks, man-

hole covers, and greasy-appear-

ing areas, as they can be

especially slippery. Use extra cau-

tion at railway crossings and on

metal gratings and bridges. When

it starts to rain, any oil or grease

on the road rises to the surface of

the water. Pull over and wait a few

minutes until this oil film is

washed away before riding.

Whenever in doubt about road

conditions, slow down !

PRACTICE AWAY FROM

TRAFFIC

Your riding skill and your mechan-

ical knowledge form the founda-

tion for safe riding practices. We

suggest that you practice riding

your motorcycle in a non-traffic

situation until you are thoroughly

familiar with your machine and its

controls. Again, consider taking

one of the MSF’s Rider Courses.

Even experts will be pleased with

the caliber of the information pre-

sented in these courses. As the

MSF says: “The more you know,

the better it gets !”
