The jiffy stand locks when placed in the full forward (down)
position with vehicle weight on it. If the jiffy stand is not in
the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it,
the vehicle can fall over which could result in death or
serious injury. (00006a)
Be sure jiffy stand is fully retracted before riding. If jiffy
stand is not fully retracted, it can contact the road surface
causing a loss of vehicle control, which could result in
death or serious injury. (00007a)
A new motorcycle must be operated according to the special break in procedure. See
Break in Riding Rules.
Operate motorcycle at moderate speed and out of traffic until you become thoroughly
familiar with its operation and handling characteristics under all conditions.
NOTE:
Harley Davidson recommends that you obtain information and formal training in the correct
motorcycle riding technique. In the United States, both the Harley Davidson™ Riding Academy
(1 414 343 4056) and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation
®
(1 800 446 9227) offer beginning and
advanced rider safety courses.
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and
never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive
speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00008a)
Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce
speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other
condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Keep both hands on the handlebar
grips when riding the motorcycle. Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting
forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces
and rider control error. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your
motorcycle. If you experience these conditions, 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. 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 riding at moderate speeds.
