QSAFETY INFORMATION

MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE

DEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPER-

TISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIRE-

MENTS BEFORE RIDING THIS MOTORCYCLE.

HE OR SHE SHOULD:

1. OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS

OF MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.

2. OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER’S MAN-

UAL.

3. OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES.

4. OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL

AND/OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.

Safe riding

1. Always make pre-operation checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident.

2. This motorcycle is designed to carry the operator and a passenger.

3. The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic 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 appears to be very effective in

reducing the chance of this type of accident.

Therefore:

a. Wear a brightly colored jacket.

b. Use extra caution when approaching and passing through intersections, since intersections

are the most likely places for motorcycle accidents to occur.

c. Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist’s blind spot.
