SAFE RIDING TIPS
-04-
Posture
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Keep your elbows inside close to the body and
flexible.
2. Hold your arms at an angle of about 120°.
3. Hips should be in a position so that arms and
shoulders are relaxed.
4. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
5. Relax to guard against a sudden impact.
6. Hold the tank tightly with knees.
7. Point the toes straight ahead.
Cornering
When cornering, centrifugal force works in a
direction perpendicular to the direction in which
the vehicle is moving. Centrifugal force increases
in proportion with speed and the radius of the
corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to lessen the
effects of centrifugal force. By all means, avoid
abrupt application of brakes or sudden steering.
Warning
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands
firmly on the handle bar and both feet securely on
the foot rest. Under no circumstances should both
the hands be removed from the handle bar, as it is
very dangerous.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could
lead to fatal accident.
Do not downshift the gears in the midst of cornering.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a
corner. If this is the first time that you are riding a
vehicle of this type, we suggest that you practice on a
safe, open area to become thoroughly familiar with
the operation of the vehicle.
