ulations before you ride on un-paved public streets or roads.The failure of motorists to detectand recognize motorcycles in traf-fic is the predominating cause ofautomobile/motorcycle accidents.Many accidents have been causedby an automobile driver who didnot see the motorcycle. Makingyourself conspicuous appears tobe very effective in reducing thechance of this type of accident.Therefore:• Wear a brightly colored jacket.• Use extra caution when you are

approaching and passingthrough intersections, since in-tersections are the most likelyplaces for motorcycle accidentsto occur.

• Ride where other motorists cansee you. Avoid riding in anothermotorist’s blind spot.

Many accidents involve inexperi-enced operators.• Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your mo-torcycle to other qualified opera-tors.

Obtain thorough instructions froma competent source on all aspectsof motorcycle operation.Observe the warnings and mainte-nance requirements in this Own-er’s Manual.Obtain qualified training in safeand proper riding techniques.Obtain professional technical ser-vice as indicated in this Owner’sManual and/or when made neces-sary by mechanical conditions.

Safe RidingPerform the pre-operation checks eachtime you use the vehicle to make sure itis in safe operating condition. Failure toinspect or maintain the vehicle properlyincreases the possibility of an accidentor equipment damage. See page 4-1for a list of pre-operation checks. This motorcycle is designed to car-

ry the operator only. No passengers. This motorcycle is intended to use

as a competition model includingenduro usage.

This motorcycle is not designednor intended for continuous“Paved Road” use. Never use thismotorcycle on highway (motor-way)/expressway.

If any of the components that arenecessary for the vehicle to com-ply with regulations are modified orreplaced with non-specified com-ponents, the vehicle will no longermeet the regulations.

SA• Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits mayhelp you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you prac-tice riding your motorcycle untilyou have become thoroughly fa-miliar with the motorcycle and allof its controls.

Many accidents have been causedby error of the motorcycle opera-tor. A typical error made by the op-erator is veering wide on a turndue to excessive speed or under-cornering (insufficient lean anglefor the speed).• Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant-ed by road and traffic conditions.

• Always signal before turning orchanging lanes. Make sure thatother motorists can see you.

Ride cautiously in unfamiliar ar-eas. You may encounter hiddenobstacles that could cause an ac-cident.

The posture of the operator is im-portant for proper control. The op-erator should keep both hands onthe handlebar and both feet on the

operator footrests during operationto maintain control of the motorcy-cle.

Never ride under the influence ofalcohol or other drugs.

Protective ApparelThe majority of fatalities from motorcy-cle accidents are the result of head in-juries. The use of a safety helmet is thesingle most critical factor in the preven-tion or reduction of head injuries. Always wear an approved helmet. Wear a face shield or goggles.

Wind in your unprotected eyescould contribute to an impairmentof vision that could delay seeing ahazard.

The use of a jacket, heavy boots,trousers, gloves, etc., is effective inpreventing or reducing abrasionsor lacerations.

Never wear loose-fitting clothes,otherwise they could catch on thecontrol levers, footrests, or wheelsand cause injury or an accident.

Always wear protective clothingthat covers your legs, ankles, andfeet. The engine or exhaust sys-

Usetra care when riding a motorcycleat has added cargo or accessories.re, along with the information aboutcessories below, are some generalidelines to follow if loading cargo tour motorcycle:e total weight of the operator, acces-ries and cargo must not exceed theaximum load limit. Operation of anerloaded vehicle could cause ancident.

When loading within this weight limit,keep the following in mind: Shifting weights can create a sud-

for your load (suspension-ad-justable models only), andcheck the condition and pres-sure of your tires.

• Never attach any large or heavyitems to the handlebar, frontfork, or front fender. Theseitems, including such cargo assleeping bags, duffel bags, ortents, can create unstable han-dling or a slow steering re-sponse.

Remove all loose items from themotorcycle.Point the front wheel straightahead on the trailer or in the truckbed, and choke it in a rail to pre-vent movement.Shift the transmission in gear (formodels with a manual transmis-sion).Secure the motorcycle withtie-downs or suitable straps thatare attached to solid parts of themotorcycle, such as the frame orupper front fork triple clamp (andnot, for example, to rubber-mount-ed handlebars or turn signals, orparts that could break).

SActs or having other modifications per-rmed to your vehicle that change anyf the vehicle’s design or operationaracteristics can put you and others

t greater risk of serious injury or death.ou are responsible for injuries related changes in the vehicle.eep the following guidelines in mind,s well as those provided under “Load-g” when mounting accessories. Never install accessories that

would impair the performance ofyour motorcycle. Carefully inspectthe accessory before using it tomake sure that it does not in anyway reduce ground clearance orcornering clearance, limit suspen-sion travel, steering travel or con-trol operation, or obscure lights orreflectors.• Accessories fitted to the handle-

bar or the front fork area cancreate instability due to improperweight distribution. If accesso-ries are added to the handlebaror front fork area, they must beas lightweight as possible andshould be kept to a minimum.

• Bulky or large accessories may

seriously affect the stability ofthe motorcycle. Wind may at-tempt to lift the motorcycle, orthe motorcycle may become un-stable in cross winds.

• Certain accessories can dis-place the operator from his orher normal riding position. Thisimproper position limits the free-dom of movement of the opera-tor and may limit control ability,therefore, such accessories arenot recommended.

Use caution when adding electri-cal accessories. If electrical acces-sories exceed the capacity of themotorcycle’s electrical system, anelectric failure could result, whichcould cause a dangerous loss oflights or engine power.

Aftermarket Tires and RimsThe tires and rims that came with yourmotorcycle were designed to match theperformance capabilities and to providethe best combination of handling, brak-ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz-es, and combinations may not beappropriate. Refer to page 6-18 for tire

1. Before refueling, turn off the en-gine and be sure that no one is sit-ting on the vehicle. Never refuelwhile smoking, or while in the vi-cinity of sparks, open flames, orother sources of ignition such asthe pilot lights of water heaters andclothes dryers.

2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stopfilling when the fuel reaches thebottom of the filler tube. Becausefuel expands when it heats up,heat from the engine or the suncan cause fuel to spill out of thefuel tank.
