Never race other vehicles with your
vehicle.
Brake with both the front and rear brakes.
The use of one brake only for sudden
braking may cause the vehicle to skid or
make the rider lose control of the vehicle
itself.
When riding down a steep hill, use the
engine as a brake by selecting the same
gear, or a lower gear, than you would use
to climb the hill. Use front and rear brakes
sparingly.
Always ride at the appropriate speed and
avoid unnecessary hard acceleration. This
is not only safer, but also reduces fuel
consumption and extends the life of the
vehicle.
If you must ride your vehicle in rainy
weather or on loose surfaces, remember
that traction is greatly reduced. Under
these conditions, the vehicle must always
be handled gradually and smoothly.
Sudden acceleration, braking or turning
may make you lose control of your vehicle.
When traction is reduced, accelerate and
slow using your vehicle's engine braking
insofar as possible. Avoid hard or abrupt
braking.
Open and close the throttle gradually to
prevent the rear wheel from spinning or
skidding.
On rough road surfaces, slow down and
use care.
Try to avoid wide open throttle
accelerations, unless they are necessary
for such things as passing.
Don't allow your engine to "lug," that is, run
at too low an rpm. Shift to a lower gear.
Also, don't over-rev the engine. Observe
the redline on the tachometer.
Remember that aggressive cornering can
cause your vehicle's tires to lose lateral
traction, which can result in an accident
and serious injury or even death.
