SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU1028B

Be a Responsible Owner

As the vehicle’s owner, you are re-

sponsible for the safe and proper oper-

ation of your motorcycle.

Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.

Their safe use and operation are de-

pendent upon the use of proper riding

techniques as well as the expertise of

the operator. Every operator should

know the following requirements be-

fore riding this motorcycle.

He or she should:

Obtain thorough instructions from

a competent source on all aspects

of motorcycle operation.

Observe the warnings and mainte-

nance requirements in this Own-

er’s Manual.

Obtain qualified training in safe

and proper riding techniques.

Obtain professional technical ser-

vice as indicated in this Owner’s

Manual and/or when made neces-

sary by mechanical conditions.

Never operate a motorcycle with-

out proper training or instruction.

Take a training course. Beginners

should receive training from a cer-

tified instructor. Contact an autho-

rized motorcycle dealer to find out

about the training courses nearest

you.

Safe Riding

Perform the pre-operation checks

each time you use the vehicle to make

sure it is in safe operating condition.

Failure to inspect or maintain the vehi-

cle properly increases the possibility of

an accident or equipment damage.

See page 4-1 for a list of pre-operation

checks.

This motorcycle is designed to

carry the operator and a passen-

ger.

The failure of motorists to detect

and recognize motorcycles in traf-

fic is the predominating cause of

automobile/motorcycle accidents.

Many accidents have been

caused by an automobile driver

who did not see the motorcycle.

Making yourself conspicuous ap-

pears to be very effective in reduc-

ing the chance of this type of

accident.

Therefore:

• Wear a brightly colored jacket.

• Use extra caution when you are

approaching and passing

through intersections, since in-

tersections are the most likely

places for motorcycle accidents

to occur.

• Ride where other motorists can

see you. Avoid riding in another

motorist’s blind spot.

• Never maintain a motorcycle

without proper knowledge.

Contact an authorized motorcy-

cle dealer to inform you on ba-

sic motorcycle maintenance.

Certain maintenance can only

be carried out by certified staff.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-2

Many accidents involve inexperi-

enced operators. In fact, many op-

erators who have been involved in

accidents do not even have a cur-

rent motorcycle license.

• Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your mo-

torcycle to other qualified oper-

ators.

• 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

where there is no traffic until you

have become thoroughly famil-

iar with the motorcycle and all of

its controls.

Many accidents have been

caused by error of the motorcycle

operator. A typical error made by

the operator is veering wide on a

turn due to excessive speed or un-

dercornering (insufficient lean an-

gle for the speed).

• Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant-

ed by road and traffic condi-

tions.

• Always signal before turning or

changing lanes. Make sure that

other motorists can see you.

The posture of the operator and

passenger is important for proper

control.

• The operator should keep both

hands on the handlebar and

both feet on the operator foot-

rests during operation to main-

tain control of the motorcycle.

• The passenger should always

hold onto the operator, the seat

strap or grab bar, if equipped,

with both hands and keep both

feet on the passenger footrests.

Never carry a passenger unless

he or she can firmly place both

feet on the passenger footrests.

Never ride under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

This motorcycle is designed for

on-road use only. It is not suitable

for off-road use.

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 pre-

vention 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 abra-

sions 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.

A passenger should also observe

the above precautions.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-3

1Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon

monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing

carbon monoxide can cause head-

aches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,

confusion, 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-

able to save yourself. Also, deadly lev-

els of carbon monoxide can linger for

hours or days in enclosed or poorly

ventilated areas. If you experience any

symptoms of carbon monoxide poi-

soning, leave the area immediately, get

fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-

MENT.

Do not run engine indoors. Even if

you try to ventilate engine exhaust

with fans or open windows and

doors, carbon monoxide can rap-

idly reach dangerous levels.

Do not run engine in poorly venti-

lated or partially enclosed areas

such as barns, garages, or car-

ports.

Do not run engine outdoors where

engine exhaust can be drawn into

a building through openings such

as windows and doors.

Adding accessories or cargo to your

motorcycle can adversely affect stabil-

ity and handling if the weight distribu-

tion of the motorcycle is changed. To

avoid the possibility of an accident, use

extreme caution when adding cargo or

accessories to your motorcycle. Use

extra care when riding a motorcycle

that has added cargo or accessories.

Here, along with the information about

accessories below, are some general

guidelines to follow if loading cargo to

your motorcycle:

The total weight of the operator, pas-

senger, accessories and cargo must

not exceed the maximum load limit.

Operation of an overloaded vehicle

could cause an accident.

When loading within this weight limit,

keep the following in mind:

Cargo and accessory weight

should be kept as low and close to

the motorcycle as possible. Se-

curely pack your heaviest items as

close to the center of the vehicle

as possible and make sure to dis-

tribute the weight as evenly as

possible on both sides of the mo-

torcycle to minimize imbalance or

instability.

Shifting weights can create a sud-

den imbalance. Make sure that

accessories and cargo are se-

curely attached to the motorcycle

before riding. Check accessory

mounts and cargo restraints fre-

quently.

• Properly adjust the suspension

for your load (suspension-ad-

justable models only), and

check the condition and pres-

sure of your tires.

• Never attach any large or heavy

items to the handlebar, front

fork, or front fender. These

items, including such cargo as

sleeping bags, duffel bags, or
