barcontrols, tyre pressures, fuel and oil levels, etc.

SAFE RIDING TIPS / GUIDELINES
A new motorcycle must be operated according to
the special running-in-procedure. See running-in-
procedure mentioned in respective section.
Operate motorcycle only at moderate speeds and out
of traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar
with its operation and handling characteristics under
all conditions.
Do not exceed the legal speed limit or ride too fast
for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when
poor riding conditions exist. High speed increases the
influence of any other condition affecting stability and
increases the possibility of loss of control.
If you are an inexperienced rider we recommend that
you obtain formal training on correct motorcycle riding
techniques and become thoroughly familiar with the
operation of your motorcycle. New riders should gain
experience under various conditions while driving at
moderate speeds.
NOTE
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions.
Any motorcycle may be subject to the following upsetting
forces:
Wind blasts from passing vehicles.
Rough or uneven road surfaces.
Slippery road surfaces.
These forces may aect the handling characteristics of
your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed of the
motorcycle to a controlled condition. Do not apply brake
abruptly.
■Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember
that a motorcycle does not aord the same
protection as an automobile in an accident. One of
the most common accident situations occurs when
the rider / driver of the other motorcycle / vehicle
fails to see or recognise a motorcycle and turns into
the oncoming motorcyclist.
