THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS BEFORE RIDING THIS MOTORCYCLE. HE OR SHE SHOULD: 1. OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF MOTORCYCLE OPERATION. 2.
E_5MT.book Page 2 Tuesday, August 28, 2001 2:05 PM SAFETY INFORMATION 4. Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license. a. Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your motorcycle to other qualified operators. b. Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident. c.
E_5MT.book Page 3 Tuesday, August 28, 2001 2:05 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 that could delay seeing a hazard. 3.
E_5MT.book Page 4 Tuesday, August 28, 2001 2:05 PM SAFETY INFORMATION Loading The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit of YZF-R6: 417lb (189 kg)/YZF-R6C: 415 lb (188 kg). When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind: 1. Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible.
E_5MT.book Page 5 Tuesday, August 28, 2001 2:05 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.
E_5MT.book Page 6 Tuesday, August 28, 2001 2:05 PM SAFETY INFORMATION a. The engine and exhaust system may be hot. Park the motorcycle in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas. b. Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over. c. Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an open flame), otherwise it could catch fire. 4.
