Handlebars and Footrests
WARNING
The rider must maintain control of the
motorcycle by keeping hands on the
handlebars at all times.
The handling and stability of a
motorcycle will be affected if the
rider removes their hands from the
handlebars.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
The rider and passenger (if applicable)
must always use the footrests
provided, during operation of the
motorcycle.
By using the footrests, both rider
and passenger will reduce the risk
of inadvertent contact with any
motorcycle components and will
also reduce the risk of injury from
entrapment of clothing.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
When banking and the bank angle
indicator, attached to the rider's
footrest, makes contact with the
ground, the motorcycle is nearing its
bank angle limit.
A further increase of the banking
angle is unsafe.
Banking to an unsafe angle may lead
to loss of motorcycle control which
could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
The bank angle indicators must not
be used as a guide to how far the
motorcycle may be safely banked.
This depends on many various
conditions including, but not limited to:
- Road surface
- Tire condition
- Weather.
Banking to an unsafe angle may lead
to loss of motorcycle control which
could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Always replace the bank angle
indicators before they are worn to
their maximum limit.
Use of a motorcycle with bank angle
indicators worn beyond the maximum
limit will allow the motorcycle to be
banked to an unsafe angle.
Banking to an unsafe angle may lead
to loss of motorcycle control which
could result in serious injury or death.
