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. Follow these basic rules for your personal safety.
Know and respect the 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. See Rules of the Road.
Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls,
correct fuel and oil supply.
