U5PB12.book Page 3 Wednesday, May 29, 2002 3:57 PM SAFETY INFORMATION Protective apparel 1 The majority of fatalities from motorcycle accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safety helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries. 1. Always wear an approved helmet. 2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision which could delay seeing a hazard. 3.
U5PB12.book Page 4 Wednesday, May 29, 2002 3:57 PM SAFETY INFORMATION Loading The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit of 200 kg (441 lb).

U5PB12.book Page 5 Wednesday, May 29, 2002 3:57 PM SAFETY INFORMATION 1 a. Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic changes. If accessories are added to the handlebar or front fork area, they must be as lightweight as possible and should be kept to a minimum. b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to aerodynamic effects.
U5PB12.book Page 6 Wednesday, May 29, 2002 3:57 PM SAFETY INFORMATION a.
