many cases “common sense” seems to be less and less common. Please use solid judgment,
do not
ride above your ability and respect the fact that you are a sack of water traveling through space
at a high rate of speed. Respect the bike, respect the terrains and use caution.
Safety information will come in a variety of different forms, including:
!Safety Labels on the Motorcycle.
!Safety Messages preceded by a safety symbol and one of these signal words:

If you take responsibility for safety, properly maintain your motorcycle and understand the
challenges you may encounter while riding, your Cleveland motorcycle will provide many years
of use and enjoyment. Listed below are some important safety measures you should take when
riding.
Before Riding. Carefully read this manual to familiarize yourself with the controls,
characteristics, functions and limits of the motorcycle,and your own ability.
Never attach a sidecar, a trailer or any other accessory to the motorcycle. Do Not modify
the vehicle in any way. Failure to observe this prescription may make the vehicle unstable and cause
serious accidents and/or injury.
Never Ride Without a Helmet. The following statement is a proven fact: “Helmets
significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries.” Never ride your motorcycle without a
helmet. Even a crash at slow speed can result in a fatal head injury if you are not wearing a helmet.
Cleveland CycleWerks strongly recommends wearing helmets that have been certified for safety by
helmet testing organizations that are independent from the helmet manufacturer. We also recommend
that you wear eye protection, boots, gloves, and other protective gear such as riding pants, and a chest
protector if riding off road.
Never Carry a Passenger. This motorcycle has been designed for ONE rider only. There
are no passenger pegs, footrests, hand holds or seat room for a passenger. Riding with a passenger can
interfere with your ability to operate and/or control the motorcycle and may result in serious injury or
death.
Ride Within Your Limits. Never attempt to ride your motorcycle in a manner that is beyond
your skill level. It takes time to learn proper riding skills. Learn to ride your motorcycle step by step. Start
by practicing in safe areas at slow speeds and gradually build your skill level. Instruction from an
experienced rider(s) is highly recommended. Remember that alcohol, drug use, fatigue and ignorance
can reduce your ability to make good decisions and ride safely.
Be Alert for Hazards. The terrain or road in which you ride can present many hazards.
Always “scan” the terrain or road ahead of you continually. Watch for unexpected turns, drop-offs, ditches,
rocks and other hazards. Always maintain a speed slow enough to allow you enough time to see and
react to hazards.
Do Not Drink and Ride. Even one drink can impair your ability to ride a motorcycle safely.
Each additional drink will make the impairment worse. Do not drink and ride. Do not let your friend’s drink
and ride. Remember, in most states throughout the United States, you can be arrested and charged with
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) if you are riding a motorcycle while intoxicated.
To ensure maximum reliability and maintain the motorcycle in perfect working condition, it
is essential to perform the servicing detailed in the Scheduled Maintenance Table(s) and to follow all the
direction provided in this manual. For further information, please contact your authorized dealer and/or
service center that possess the necessary technical skills.
