Important Safety Information
Ride Off-road Only
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.
Take Time to Learn and Practice
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 Tips & Practice Guide
for the Off -Highway Motorcyclist booklet that
came with your motorcycle (USA only).
Be Alert for Off-road Hazards
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.
Ride within Your Limits
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.
