Handlebars and Footrests
Warning
The rider must maintain control of the
vehicle by keeping hands on the han-
dlebars at all times.
The handling and stability of a motor-
cycle will be adversely affected if the
rider removes his hands from the han-
dlebars, resulting in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
The rider and passenger must always
use the footrests provided, during op-
eration of the vehicle.
By using the footrests, both rider and
passenger will reduce the risk of inad-
vertent contact with any motorcycle
components and will also reduce the
risk of injury from entrapment of cloth-
ing.
Warning
The bank angle indicators must not be
used as a guide to how far the motor-
cycle may be safely banked.
This depends on many various condi-
tions including, but not limited to, road
surface, tyre condition and weather.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Use of a motorcycle with the bank an-
gle indicator worn beyond the
maximum limit (when 5 mm of the bank
indicator remains) will allow the motor-
cycle to be banked to an unsafe angle.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
