Safety Basics: Do’s and Don’ts
The Do’s
o
Always conduct a Safety Check before you ride your
XB-420M. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of
your XB-420M.
o
Always wear an approved helmet when riding your XB-
420M. Follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions
for fit, use and care of your helmet.
o
Always keep body parts and other objects away from
the spinning wheels of your XB-420M.
o
Always wear shoes that will stay on your feet and will
stay on the floorboard.
o
Wear bright, visible clothing that is not so loose that it
can catch on moving parts of the XB-420M or objects
at the side of the road or trail.
o
Think about your speed, and keep your speed
consistent with safe operating conditions.
The Don’ts
o
Never ride with headphones. They mask traffic
sounds, distract you from concentrating on your
surroundings, and their wires can tangle in the moving
parts of the XB-420M, causing you to lose control.
o
Never carry a passenger. The maximum carrying
capacity is 350 lbs.
o
Never ride barefoot or wearing sandals.
o
Don’t jump with your XB-420M. It puts great stress on
everything from frame and forks to drive train. Riders
