Important Safety Information
Important Safety Precautions
Your CRF can provide many years of pleasure, if
you take responsibility for your own safety and
understand the challenges you can meet in
competitive racing.
As an experienced rider, you know there is much
you can do to protect yourself when you ride.
The following are a few precautions we consider
to be most important.
Never Carry a Passenger.
Your CRF is designed for one operator only.
Carrying a passenger can cause an crash in which
you and others can be hurt.
Wear Protective Gear.
Whether you’re practicing to improve your skills,
or riding in competition, always wear an
approved helmet, eye protection, and proper
protective gear.
Take Time to Get to Know Your CRF.
Because every motorcycle is unique, take time to
become thoroughly familiar with how this one
operates and responds to your commands before
placing your machine, and yourself, in
competition.
Learn and Respect Your Limits.
Never ride beyond your personal abilities or
faster than conditions warrant. Remember that
alcohol, drugs, illness and fatigue can reduce
your ability to perform well and ride safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride.
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink
can reduce your ability to respond to changing
conditions, and your reaction time gets worse
with every additional drink. So don’t drink and
ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride
either.
Keep your Honda in Safe Condition.
Maintaining your CRF properly is critical to your
safety. A loose bolt, for example, can cause a
breakdown in which you can be seriously
injured.

bad judgement can result in injury, and we don’t
want that to happen. As a parent, you can help
prevent accidents by making good decisions
about when and how your youngster rides this
motorcycle.

the motorcycle up while straddling it with
both feet on the ground. He or she must also
