IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety is very important. Your motorcycle can
provide many years of service and pleasure, if you
take responsibility for your own safety and unders-
tand 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 take
sufficient time training with safe and proper riding
technique.
Failure to follow any safety instructions could cause
severe injury or even death to the motorcycle opera-
tor, passenger or pedestrians, Before riding
each time, make sure of the following:
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. There-
fore, 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.

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.
BEING SEEN
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.
HOW TO KEEP YOUR MOTORCYCLE SAFE
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:
LOADING & CARRYING PASSENGERS

15
USER MANUAL
UM MOTORCYCLES MAX RS 125 - 150 - 200
> Make sure the loads 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 read rack, if installed.
> Do not attach anything to handelbars, steering,
headlight or front forks.
> Strap everything properly.
> Inflate tires properly.
> Keep the load low and distribute the load evely. 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 pedestrians.
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 stopped.
> Keeps legs away from hot and moving parts.* Stay
directly behind you, leaning as you lean.* Avoid any
unnecessary motion.
LOADING & CARRYING PASSENGERS
> Go slower.
> Start slowing earlier as you approach a stop.
> Maintain a large cushion of space ahead and to
the sides.
> Wait for large gaps when you want to across,
enter or merge into traffic.

PETROL AND EXHAUST FUMES

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 conscious-
ness or death within a short time.
> Do not park the motorcycle near a flame source.

MODIFICATIONS
Any modifications to this motorcycle, removal of
original equipment or use of unapproved acces-
sories, 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 acces-
sories 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.
WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR
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 fpr
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.
