Before Riding
Are You Ready to Ride?
Before you ride your motorcycle for the first time, we urge you to:
• Read this owner’s manual.
• Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
• Know how to operate all the controls.
Before each ride, be sure:
• You feel well and are in good physical and mental condition.
• You are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet (with chin strap tightened
securely), eye protection, and other protective clothing.
• You don’t have any alcohol or drugs in your system.
Make sure your passenger is ready to ride, too, and is wearing proper gear
including a helmet.
If you are not riding with a passenger and want to carry an extra helmet, use a
commercially-available elastic cord, strap, or net to secure the helmet to the
seat.
Protective Apparel
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved
shirt or jacket whenever you ride.
Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce
the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you choose the proper gear.
