MOTORCYCLE USE SAFETY
Please mind your safety and keep your motorcycle in sound
condition. You will be able to enjoy the motorcycle and its riding
properties.
It is necessary that you wear suitable protection when riding.
This Manual can provide you with many useful hints to help you
avoid potential risks.
Always wear safety helmet and suitable clothes:
Various researches and cases have proven that helmets ensure
signicant reduction of the possibility of severe head injuries.
Therefore we are warning you to use a certied motorcycle hel-
met at any time. We also recommend the use of other protective
means as eye guard, protective motorcycle boots, gloves, suit-
able clothes and other safety guards for riders. You shall always
wear long trousers and a jacket or special motorcycle clothing.
Please advise any of your passengers about the same.
Failure to use a protective mo-
torcycle helmet increases the
risk of severe head injury or
death in case of accident.
Both you and your passenger
shall always wear a protective
helmet, eye protection and
other protective means.
WARNING WARNING

MOTORCYCLE USE SAFETY
Be visible:
Some drivers tend to overlook riders, as these are hard to spot.
You can make yourselves better visible by wearing contrast
clothes with reexive means and ride in such manner that other
drivers can see you in reasonable time.
When turning and changing your travel direction, use turn sig-
nal lights. If you need to alert others, use the horn.
Do not overestimate your skills:
Exceeding limits is the main reason for motorcycle accidents.
Do not ever ride beyond your skill, the maximum performance
ability of your motorcycle, or excess speed in particular condi-
tions. Do not force your motorcycle into a terrain. Be familiar
with vehicle controls and operation methods before riding. If
you are unsure about the controls or riding the motorcycle, ask
your Blata dealer for advice.
The above instructions will help you avoid any unnecessary ac-
cidents or injuries.
Do not drink alcohol before ride:
Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, stress and loss of con-
centration have serious impact on your decision making ability,
response and the ability of safe driving. Never drink alcohol be-
fore or during the ride.
Keep your motorcycle in safe condition:
To ensure a safe ride, your motorcycle shall be checked before
every ride and subject to regular maintenance as prescribed.
Any alternative spare parts or unsuitable modications and
poor maintenance may have signicant impact on your safety.
Use only genuine Blata parts.
If your motorcycle has fallen or been through an accident, ask
your Blata dealer to check the main vehicle, even though you
might be able to perform some repairs on your own.

MOTORCYCLE USE SAFETY
Maximum permissible load:
Your motorcycle has been designed to carry on rider and one
passenger. When riding with a passenger, you may feel the dif-
ference when accelerating or braking. However, if your tyres
and brakes are kept in sound condition, you can benet from
the full permissible load of the vehicle as prescribed.
Every excess of the maximum permissible load or travelling with
the vehicle unbalanced may have serious impact on the vehicle
controllability, braking or stability. Therefore you shall never ex-
ceed the maximum permissible load of the motorcycle.
The load on your motorcycle determines your safety. Any time
you travel with a passenger or load, you should beware of the
following.
The maximum permissible load limits for your motorcycle are
as follows:
Motard: 162 kg (357 lbs)
Enduro: 158 kg (348 lbs)
(the value above includes the rider, the passenger, the entire
load and all accessories)
Checks to be performed when travelling with a passenger or load:
- correct ination of tyres
- xing of any items being carried
- location of heavier items towards the motorcycle centre
- distribution of load on both sides to balance the motorcycle
Any overload or unsuitable
loads may result in an accident
with personal injuries or even
death.
Obey all the maximum permis-
sible load values as listed in
this Manual.
