Safety First
Safe Operating Rules
Motorcycles are different from other vehicles. They
operate, steer, handle and brake differently. Unskilled or
improper use could result in loss of control, death or
serious injury. (00556c)
Take a rider training course.
Read owner's manual before riding, adding accessories or servicing.
Wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing.
Never tow a trailer.
Before operating your motorcycle, read and follow the operating and maintenance instructions in
this manual, and follow these basic rules for your personal safety.
Know and respect the rules of the road. See Rules of the Road. Carefully read and
familiarize yourself with the motorcycle safety information provided by your country or state.
Read the RIDING TIPS booklet in your owner's kit (in the U.S.) and the MOTORCYCLE
HANDBOOK from your state or regional traffic authority. The RIDING TIPS booklet is also
available on www.msf usa.org.
Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls,
correct fuel and oil supply.
Harley Davidson parts and accessories are designed for
Harley Davidson motorcycles. Using non Harley Davidson
parts or accessories can adversely affect performance,
stability or handling, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00001b)

manufacturer's performance parts may void your new motorcycle warranty, except where
