Keep Your Bike in Safe Condition
For safe riding, it's important to keep your motorcycle
properly maintained. Having a breakdown can be
difficult, especially if you are stranded off-road far
from your base. To help avoid problems, inspect
your motorcycle before every ride and perform all
recommended maintenance. Never exceed load
limits, and use only accessories that have been
approved by Honda for this motorcycle. See page 11
for more details.
Don't Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don't mix. Even one drink can reduce
your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your
reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So
don't drink and ride, and don't let your friends drink
and ride either.

Protective Apparel

For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always
wear an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection,
boots, gloves, trousers, and a long-sleeved shirt or
jacket whenever you ride. Although complete protection
is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the
chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you choose proper
gear.
Warning
!
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious

injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger always wear a

helmet, eye protection and other protective apparel
when you ride.
Helmets and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding
gear because it offers the best protection against head
injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably
and securely. A bright-coloured helmet can make
you more noticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but
a full-face helmet offers more. Always wear a face
shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your
vision.
