Renegade. By purchasing a new UM, you become a

motorcycle. Before riding, take time to get
acquainted with your motorcycle and how it
works. To protect your investment, we request
to you to take responsibility for keeping your
motorcycle well maintained. Scheduled service is a
must, of course.
But it is just as important to observe the break-in
guidelines, and perform all the pre-ride and other
periodic checks detailed in this manual.

life of your motorcycles engine. The proper usage
during the first kilometers will achieve maximum life

motorcycle in a manner that will cause engine over
heating. We also recommend that you read the
owners manual carefully before you ride. It is full of
facts, instructions, safety information, and helpful
tips.

number is used by all state, district, federal and
government entities, for regulation, emission
purposes and registration. This identification number
is stamped on the chassis, and is located on the

Your safety is very important. Your motorcycle can
provide many years of service and pleasure, if you
take responsibility for your own safety and understand
the challenges while riding. There is much you can do
to protect yourself when you ride.
Please read through the following instructions before
riding your motorcycle the first time.
 Be sure you read this owners manual completely
and understand all operating features.
 Take sufficient time training with safe and proper
riding technique.
 Practice until you are knowledgeable and
comfortable with your motorcycle, and
knowledgeable with all road signs.
Failure to follow any safety instructions could cause
severe injury or even death to the motorcycle
operator, passenger or pedestrians. Before riding
each time, make sure of the following :
WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR
Riding a motorcycle leaves the rider exposed.
Therefore, wearing appropriate protective gear can
prevent or diminish injuries from accidents.
 Helmet  The majority of serious motorcycle
injuries and deaths are direct result of a head injury.
Therefore, drivers and passengers should always wear
a helmet to prevent or reduce the chance of head
injury.
 Eye and Face Protection  A plastic face shield
can help prevent accidents by guarding the face and
eyes from debris, allowing the rider to devote full
attention to the road. Goggles or glasses can protect
the eyes in the same manner.
 Clothing  Bright clothing should be worn by the
driver so as to be seen easily by other motorists. Avoid
loose clothing that could catch on the levers, chain or
wheels which could result in an accident. Gloves give
you a better grip and help protect your hands

BEING SEEN
Many motorcycle accidents are caused by car drivers
who do not see motorcycle riders on the road
Therefore you need to follow these guidelines:
 Wear bright clothing to increase visibility.
Bright orange, yellow or green jackets or vests
and a brightly colored helmet can help others
see you.
 Always use turn signals when you are planning
to turn or merge to main roads, and turn it off
after you have made your turn.
 Flash brake lights whenever you are going to
slow down quickly or where others may not
expect you are going to slow down.
 Stay out of blind spots of other motorists.
 When you come to an intersection, move to the
portion of your lane that will bring you into
another drivers field of sight at the earliest
possible moment.
HOW TO KEEP YOUR MOTORCYCLE SAFE
The equilibrium and stability of your motorcycle are
affected by the manner in which you load it. It is very
important that you do not install accessories that
change the design and concept of the motorcycle.
Doing so could alter the safety of your motorcycle.
LOADING & CARRYING PASSENGERS
You should avoid carrying passengers or large loads
until you have gained sufficient experience riding
alone. Extra weight changes handling, stability, braking
performance, turns, acceleration and deceleration.
The load you carry on the motorcycle has an important
effect on your safety, as well as the life of the
motorcycle; therefore, apart from driver and
passenger, it is advised to keep load to a minimum. If
you decide to carry any load, take the following into
account :
UM RENEGADE
COMMANDO & SPORTS S
11

 Make sure the load is as light and as small as
possible.
 Make sure the load does not interfere with any
moving parts.
 Make sure the load does not interfere with your
ability to move around in order to maintain
proper equilibrium.
 Put the load as close as possible to the center
of the motorcycle.
 Put only light load on rear rack, if installed.
 Do not attach anything to handlebars, steering,
headlight or front forks.
 Strap everything properly.
 Inflate tires properly.
 Keep the load low and distribute the load
evenly. An uneven load can cause the
motorcycle to drift to one side.
Carrying excess load on your motorcycle can cause
an accident or crash resulting in severe injury or
even death to the motorcycle operator, passenger
or pedestrian.
To carry passengers safely, you must instruct the
passenger before you start to :
 Wear a helmet.
 Get on the motorcycle after you have started
the engine.
 Sit as far forward as possible without crowding
the driver.
 Hold firmly to your waist, hips, belt or passenger
handles.
 Keep both feet on the pegs at all time, even
when the motorcycle is stopped.
 Keep legs away from hot and moving parts.
 Stay directly behind you, leaning as you lean.
 Avoid any unnecessary motion.
To drive with a passenger safely, you must :
 Go slower.
 Start slowing earlier as you approach a stop.
 Maintain a larger cushion of space ahead and to
the sides.
 Wait for larger gaps when you want to cross,
enter or merge into traffic.

PETROL AND EXHAUST FUMES
Petrol is highly flammable and exhaust fumes are
poisonous :
 Turn off engine before refueling.
 Do not spill any Petrol on the engine, exhaust
system or the plastic parts.
 Do not refuel while smoking or near any open
flame.
 Do not operate your motorcycle in a closed area
as the exhaust fumes may cause loss of
consciousness or death within a short time.
 Do not parking the motorcycle near a flame
source.

Petrol in your eyes, see a doctor immediately or
go to the nearest hospital.

MODIFICATIONS
Any modifications to this motorcycle, removal of
original equipment or use of unapproved accessories,
may cause it to be unsafe for use and may trigger
severe accidents. Some modifications may also make
your motorcycle illegal to use on public roadways, and
will void all warranty coverage.
Your dealer is familiar with all recommended
accessories for your motorcycle, and should be
consulted before installing any accessories. The
owner of the motorcycle is responsible for the safety,
installation and usage of any accessories not
approved by UM.
Before installing new accessories, make sure they do
not interfere with moving parts, reduce ground
clearance, and do not interfere with the operating
controls.
BREAK - IN
The long term wear and duration of your motorcycle
depends of the way you treat it during the first days of
operation and the first 1000 kilometers. During this
period, limit full throttle operation, and avoid driving at
high speeds and any condition that may result in
engine overheating. Do not exceed 65 Km during the
initial running-in period.
The recommended maximum speeds in kilometers
per hour during the initial running in period, and the
next 1000 kms are the following :
 Always stay within these limits during the
break-in period.
 Do not accelerate the engine excessively.
 Do not move the motorcycle immediately after
starting the engine. Allow the engine to warm
up for a minute at low rpm so that proper
lubrication reaches the top end of the motor.
 Avoid letting the engine stall. Downshift before
to maintain proper engine revolutions.
