If You Crash
Personal safety is your first priority after a crash.
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. If you cannot ride
safety, send someone for help. Do not ride if you
will risk further injury.
If you decide that you are capable of riding
safety, first evaluate the condition of your
motorcycle. If the engine is still running, turn it
off and look it over carefully; inspect it for fluid
leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and
bolts, and secure such parts as the handlebar,
control levers, brakes, and wheels.
If there is minor damage, or you are unsure about
possible damage but decide to try riding the
motorcycle back to your base, ride slowly and
cautiously.
Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not
immediately apparent. When you get home,
throughly check your motorcycle and correct any
problems you find. Also, be sure to have your
dealer check the frame and suspension after any
serious crash.
