Tips & Practice Guide
for the Off-Highway Motorcyclist
Your motorcycle is designed and manufactured
for off-road use only. The tires are not made
for pavement, and the motorcycle does not
have turn signals and other features required
for use on public roads. If you need to cross a
paved or public road, get off and walk your
motorcycle across.
The terrain can present a variety of challenges
when you ride off-road. Continually ‘‘read’’
the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs,
rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always keep
your speed low enough to allow time to see and
react to hazards.
Pushing limits is another major cause of
motorcycle crashes. Never ride beyond your
personal abilities or faster than conditions
warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue,
and inattention can significantly reduce your
ability to make good judgments and ride safely.
Developing off-road riding skills is a gradual,
step-by-step process. Start by practicing at low
speeds in a safe area and slowly build your
skills. Personal instruction from an experienced
rider can also be valuable.
If you need assistance, ask your dealer about
riding groups in your area.
Also be sure to read the
booklet that
came with your motorcycle (USA only).
