SAFETY GUIDELINES
MOST ACCIDENTS CAN BE
AVOIDED
Please follow the basic precautions
described in this chapter regarding daily
use, and ensure that you ride carefully.
To prevent crashes, always pay the
utmost attention when riding.
• Motorcycle crashes sometimes
occur because other drivers do not
notice you. Please be careful of the
following when riding.
- Be aware that crashes often
occur when a car traveling
towards a motorcycle turns left in
front of the motorcycle.
- Do not ride in other drivers’ blind
spots.
• Do not turn the handlebars swiftly or
ride with one hand, as this may
cause skidding or falls.
• To minimize injuries caused by falls
or crashes, wear protective equip-
ment such as helmets and gloves.
For information on appropriate
equipment and clothing, see “PRO-
TECTIVE APPAREL” on page 1-5.
• Read and follow all the labels on the
motorcycle. Make sure you under-
stand all of the labels. Do not
remove any labels from the motorcy-
cle.
• When riding, grip the handlebars
with both hands and place your feet
on the footrests. Passengers should
grip the rider’s body firmly with both
hands, or hold onto the seat strap or
grab bar, as equipped, and place
their feet on the rear footrests.
