Handlebars and Footrests
Warning
The rider must maintain control of the
motorcycle by keeping hands on the
handlebars at all times.
The handling and stability of a
motorcycle will be adversely affected
if the rider removes their hands from
the handlebars, resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
The rider and passenger (if applicable)
must always use the footrests
provided, during operation of the
motorcycle.
By using the footrests, both rider
and passenger will reduce the risk
of inadvertent contact with any
motorcycle components and will
also reduce the risk of injury from
entrapment of clothing.
Warning
Use of a motorcycle with bank angle
indicators worn beyond the maximum
limit will allow the motorcycle to be
banked to an unsafe angle. Therefore,
always replace the bank angle
indicators before they are worn to
their maximum limit.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Details of the bank angle wear limits
can be found in the Maintenance and
Adjustment section.
Warning
The bank angle indicators must not
be used as a guide to how far the
motorcycle may be safely banked.
This depends on many various
conditions including, but not limited
to, road surface, tyre condition
and weather. Banking to an unsafe
angle may cause instability, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
When banking and the bank angle
indicator, attached to the rider's
footrest, makes contact with the
ground, the motorcycle is nearing its
bank angle limit. A further increase of
the banking angle is unsafe.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
