Routine checks and periodic inspections
To prevent crashes or breakdowns, be sure
to carry out routine checks and periodic
inspections.
If the motorcycle makes an unusual sound,
smells, or leaks fluid, have it inspected by
your dealer. For information on routine
checks and periodic inspections, see
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” on
page 3-2.
WARNING
Riding at excessive speeds increases
your chances of losing control of the
motorcycle, which can result in a crash.
Always ride at a speed that is proper for
the terrain, visibility and operating con-
ditions, and your skills and experience.
WARNING
If you remove even one hand or foot
from the motorcycle, you can reduce
your ability to control the motorcycle.
This could cause you to lose your bal-
ance and fall off the motorcycle. This
could injure you or cause a crash.
Always keep both hands on the handle-
bars and both feet on the footrests of
your motorcycle during operation.
