Paystrictattentiontoroadsurfacesandwindconditions.Anytwowheeledvehiclemaybe

subjecttoupsettingforcessuchaswindblastsfrompassingtrucks,holesinthepavement,

roughroadsurfaces,ridercontrolerror,etc.Theseforcesmayinfluencethehandling

characteristicsofyourmotorcycle.Ifthishappens,reducespeedandguidethemotorcycle

witharelaxedgriptoacontrolledcondition.Donotbrakeabruptlyorforcethehandlebar.

Thismayaggravateanunstablecondition.

Keepcargoweightconcentratedclosetothemotorcycleandaslowaspossibletominimize

thechangeinthemotorcycle'scenterofgravity.Distributeweightevenlyonbothsidesof

thevehicleanddonotloadbulkyitemstoofarbehindtherideroraddweighttothe

handlebarsorfrontforks.Donotexceedmaximumspecifiedloadineachsaddlebag.

NOTE:

Newridersshouldgainexperienceundervariousconditionswhiledrivingatmoderatespeeds.

Operateyourmotorcycledefensively.Remember,amotorcycledoesnotaffordthesame

protectionasanautomobileinanaccident.Oneofthemostcommonaccidentsituations

occurswhenthedriveroftheothervehiclefailstoseeorrecognizeamotorcycleandturns

leftintotheoncomingmotorcyclist.Operateonlywithheadlampon.

Wearanapprovedhelmet,clothing,andfootgearsuitedformotorcycleriding.Brightorlight

colorsarebestforgreatervisibilityintraffic,especiallyatnight.Avoidloose,flowing

garmentsandscarves.

Avoidcontactwithexhaustsystemandwearprotective

clothingthatcompletelycoverslegswhileriding.Exhaust

pipesandmufflersgetveryhotwhenengineisrunning

andremaintoohottotouch,evenafterengineisturned

off.Failuretowearprotectiveclothingcouldresultin

burnsorotherseriousinjury.(00009a)

Whencarryingpassengers,itisyourresponsibilitytoinstructthemonproperriding

procedures.(SeetheRIDINGTIPSbookletincludedinyourHarleyDavidsonOwner'sKit.)

Donotallowotherindividuals,underanycircumstances,tooperateyourmotorcycleunless

youknowtheyareexperienced,licensedridersandarethoroughlyfamiliarwiththe

operationofyourparticularmotorcycle.

Protectyourmotorcycleagainsttheft.Afterparkingyourmotorcycle,lockthesteeringhead

andremoveignitionkeyfromswitch.Setsecurityalarmifpresent.

Safemotorcycleoperationrequiresalertmentaljudgmentcombinedwithadefensivedriving

attitude.Donotallowfatigue,alcoholordrugstoendangeryoursafetyorthatofothers.

Vehiclesequippedwithasoundsystemshouldhavethevolumeadjustedtoanon

distractinglevelbeforeoperatingvehicle.

MaintainyourmotorcycleinproperoperatingconditioninaccordancewithRegularService

Intervals:2010DynaModels.Particularlyimportanttomotorcyclestabilityispropertire

inflationpressure,treadcondition,andproperadjustmentofwheelbearingsandsteering

headbearings.

Donotoperatevehiclewithforkslocked.Lockingtheforks

restrictsthevehicle'sturningability,whichcouldresultin

deathorseriousinjury.(00035a)
