Foreword – Safety First Handlebars and Footrests Warning The rider must maintain control of the vehicle by keeping hands on the handlebars at all times. The handling and stability of a motorcycle will be adversely affected if the rider removes his hands from the handlebars, resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning The rider and passenger must always use the footrests provided, during operation of the vehicle. By using the footrests, both rider and passenger will reduce the risk of inadvertent contact with any motorcycle components and will also reduce the risk of injury from entrapment of clothing.
Warning The bank angle indicators must not be used as a guide to how far the motorcycle may be safely banked. This depends on many various conditions including, but not limited to, road surface, tire condition and weather. Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning Use of a motorcycle with the bank angle indicators worn beyond the maximum limit will allow the motorcycle to be banked to an unsafe angle. The bank angle indicators have reached the maximum wear limit and should be replaced when they have worn down to a length of 20 mm. Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
