Ride within Your Limits
Never ride beyond your personal abilities or
faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and
inattention can impair your ability to use good
judgment and ride safely.
Don't Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don't mix. Even one alcoholic
drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing
conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with
every additional drink. Don't drink and ride, and don't
let your friends drink and ride either.
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It's important to keep your vehicle properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially
if you are stranded off-road far from your base.
Inspect your vehicle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits (2 P. 15), and do not modify
your vehicle or install accessories that would
make your vehicle unsafe (2 P. 13).
If You are Involved in a Crash
Personal safety is your first priority. If you or
anyone else has been injured, take time to
assess the severity of the injuries and whether it
is safe to continue riding. Call for emergency
assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws
and regulations if another person or vehicle is
involved in the crash.
If you decide to continue riding, first turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position, and evaluate
the condition of your vehicle. Inspect for fluid
leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and
bolts, and check the handlebar, control levers,
brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously.
Your vehicle may have suffered damage that is
not immediately apparent. Have your vehicle
thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility
as soon as possible.
