Off-road Safety

This motorcycle allows you to enjoy all the excitement
of riding it off-road. For this, it is necessary to follow
some recommendations, which will tie off-road
excitement with safety.
1. Protective equipment
Essential for your safety. Make a rule of always
wearing them.
• Helmet – essential equipment.
• Goggles – the greater the visibility, the better.
Choose goggles that do not break or splinter.
• Long-sleeved shirts having fillings in the elbows
and shoulders to protect against eventual injuries
in the arms.
• Gloves – models with padded hand backs are the
most indicated for off-road riding. Choose gloves
that fit your hands.
• Abdominal band – it protects internal organs
against off-road bumps.
• Nylon trousers with protection in the knees or
reinforced jeans. They increase protection.
Choose the right size for your proper freedom
of motion.
• Boots – they should be made of reinforced leather
with thick grooved soles and steel tips. They
should also be flexible and fit you properly.
• Waist bag – it is important so you may carry spare
parts and those parts that were removed from the
motorcycle.
2. Preparing the motorcycle
For off-road practice, it is essential that your
motorcycle is in perfect mechanical condition.
The front brake lever, clutch lever and turn signal
brackets should be loosened in order to rotate in
case of falling down, preventing breakage. They
should be loosened to turn on the handlebars only
with a slight force. Under most adverse conditions,
the rearview mirrors and turn signals should be
removed.
