05/11/02 15:07:06 31MCS630 009Important Safety InformationYour motorcycle can provide many years of service and pleasure if you takeresponsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meetwhile riding.There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You’ll findmany helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The following are afew that we consider most important.Always Wear a HelmetIt’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of headinjuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and make sure yourpassenger does the same. We also recommend that you wear eye protection,sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear (page 38 ).Take Time to Learn & PracticeEven if you have ridden other motorcycles, take time to become familiar withhow this motorcycle works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you buildyour skills and get accustomed to the motorcycle’s size and weight.Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained riders, we urge allriders to take a certified course approved by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation(MSF). See page 40 .Ride DefensivelyThe most frequent motorcycle collision happens when a car turns left in front ofa motorcycle. Another common situation is a car moving suddenly into yourlane.Always pay attention to other vehicles around you, and do not assume that otherdrivers see you. Be prepared to stop quickly or make an evasive maneuver. Forother riding tips, see the booklet, You and Your Motorcycle: Riding Tips andPractice Guide, which came with your new motorcycle (USA only).2Motorcycle Safety
05/11/02 15:07:11 31MCS630 010Important Safety InformationMake Yourself Easy to SeeSome drivers do not see motorcycles because they are not looking for them. Tomake yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself soother drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use yourhorn when it will help others notice you.Ride within Your LimitsPushing limits is another major cause of motorcycle accidents. Never ridebeyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Remember thatalcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can significantly reduce your ability tomake good judgments and ride safely.Don’t Drink and RideAlcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respondto changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additionaldrink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride either.Keep Your Honda in Safe ConditionIt’s important to keep your motorcycle properly maintained and in safe ridingcondition. To help avoid problems, inspect your motorcycle before every rideand perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits (page 44 ),and do not modify your motorcycle (page 5 ) or install accessories that wouldmake your motorcycle unsafe (page 4 ).Motorcycle Safety3
05/11/02 15:07:18 31MCS630 011Accessories & ModificationsModifying your motorcycle or using non-Honda accessories can make yourmotorcycle unsafe. Before you consider making any modifications or adding anaccessory, be sure to read the following information.Improper accessories ormodifications can cause a crashin which you can be seriouslyhurt or killed.Follow all instructions in thisowner’s manual regardingaccessories and modifications.AccessoriesWe strongly recommend that you use only genuine Honda accessories that havebeen specifically designed and tested for your motorcycle. Because Hondacannot test all other accessories, you must be personally responsible for properselection, installation, and use of non-Honda accessories.Check with your Honda dealer for assistance and always follow theseguidelines:Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearanceand lean angle, limit suspension travel or steering travel, alter your ridingposition, or interfere with operating any controls.Do not add any electrical equipment that will exceed the motorcycle’selectrical system capacity (page 177 ). A blown fuse can cause a loss of lightsor engine power (page 165 ).Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your motorcycle. This motorcycle was notdesigned for these attachments, and their use can seriously impair yourmotorcycle’s handling.Carefully consider the weight of any accessories and any cargo stored inthose accessories to avoid exceeding the maximum weight limits.For more information, see Load Limits, page 44 .4Motorcycle Safety
05/11/02 15:07:22 31MCS630 012Accessories & ModificationsModificationsWe strongly advise you not to remove any original equipment or modify yourmotorcycle in any way that would change its design or operation. Such changescould seriously impair your motorcycle’s handling, stability, and braking,making it unsafe to ride.Removing or modifying your lights, exhaust system, emission control system, orother equipment can also make your motorcycle illegal.Motorcycle Safety5
