Considerations for High
Speed Operation
WARNING
This motorcycle should be operated
within the legal speed limits for the
particular road traveled.
Riding a motorcycle at high speeds
can be dangerous since the time
available to react to a hazard is
greatly reduced at high speeds.
Always reduce speed in potentially
hazardous driving conditions such as
bad weather or heavy traffic.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
Only operate this motorcycle at high
speed in closed-course, on-road
competition or on closed-course
racetracks.
High speed operation should only
then be attempted by riders who have
been instructed in the techniques
necessary for high speed riding and
are familiar with the motorcycle's
characteristics in all conditions.
High speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and may
lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
The handling characteristics of a
motorcycle at high speed may vary
from those you are familiar with at
legal road speeds.
Do not attempt high speed operation
unless you have received sufficient
training and have the required skills.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
The items listed below are extremely
important and must never be
neglected.
A problem, which may not be noticed
at normal operating speeds, may be
greatly exaggerated at high speeds.
Check the items listed below before
any high speed operation.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
General
Make sure that the motorcycle has been
maintained according to the scheduled
maintenance chart.

Check that the front and rear brakes
are functioning correctly.
