Safety Precautions
Ride cautiously and keep your hands on
the handlebars and feet on the footpegs.
Always consider the safety of other
drivers and riders.
Make sure that you are wearing an
approved motorcycle helmet, eye
protection, and high-visibility protective
clothing. Ride defensively in response to
weather and road conditions.
Helmet
Should be safety-standard certified, high-
visibility, and correct size for your head
Must fit comfortably but securely, with
the chin strap fastened
Face shield with unobstructed field of
vision or other approved eye protection
Look for a DOT (Department of
Transportation) certification label on any
helmet you buy.
Gloves
Full-finger leather gloves with high
abrasion resistance
Boots
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles and ankle
protection
Jacket and Pants
A leather motorcycle suit is required.
Your motorcycle has minimum heat
protection for the rider.
Therefore a leather motorcycle suit is
required to protect you from the heated
components such as frame and seat cowl.
Protective Apparel
WARNING
Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a
crash.
Make sure that you always wear an
approved helmet and protective
apparel.
