SSR SR150 - If You Crash; If a Part Fails

If You Crash
If a Part Fails
If you are unable to repair a at tire on the trail, you
will need to push the motorcycle back to your base
or send for help. We strongly recommend that you
do not try to ride with a at tire.The motorcycle will
be hard to handle, and if the tire comes off the rim it
may lock up the wheel and can cause you to crash.
Personal safety is your rst priority after an
accident. If you or anyone else has been injured,
take time to assess the severity of the injuries and
whether it is safe to continue riding. If you cannot
ride safely, send someone for help. Do not ride if
you will risk further injury.
you nd. Also, be sure to have your dealer check
the frame and suspension after any serious crash.
Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not imme-
diately apparent. When you get home, thoroughly
check your motorcycle and correct any problems
If you decide you are capable of riding safely, care-
fully inspect your motorcycle for damage and
determine if it is safe to ride. Check the tightness
of critical nuts and bolts securing such parts as the
handlebar, control levers, brakes, and wheels.
If there is minor damage, or you are unsure about
possible damage but decide to try riding the
motorcycle back to your base, ride slowly and cau-
tiously.
The drive chain, master link, brake lever or pedal,
control cables, and other components can be
damaged as you ride in dense brush or over rocky
terrain. Making a trailside repair depends on how
serious the damages is and what tools and supplies
you have with you.
If the drive chain comes off because the master
link clip gets knocked off, you may be able to put
the chain back on with a new master link. However,
if the chain breaks or does other damage when it
comes off, you may not be able to make a trailside
repair.
If any component of the front brake system is dam-
aged, you may be able to ride carefully back to your
base using the rear brake for slowing or stopping.
If you damage a throttle cable or other critical
component, your motorcycle may be unsafe to ride.
Carefully assess the damage and make any repairs
that you can. If there is any doubt, it’s best to be
conservative and safe.
