MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
Always wear a helmet
Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally
focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check
that you and your pillion are both wearing an
approved motorcycle helmet and protective
apparel. Instruct your pillion on holding onto
the grab rail or your waist, leaning with you in
turns, and keeping their feet on the footrest,
even when the motorcycle is stopped.
Your motorcycle can provide many years of
service and pleasure if you take responsibility
for your own safety and understand the
challenges you can meet on the road.
It is a proven fact, Helmet significantly reduces
the number and severity of head injuries. So
always wear a helmet and make sure your pillion
rider does the same. We also recommend that
you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves
and other protective gear.
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You will find many
helpful recommendations through out this
manual. Following are a few that we consider
most important.
Before riding your motorcycle
Take time to learn & practice your
motorcycle
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,
practice riding in a safe area to become
familiar with how this motorcycle works and
handles, and to become accustomed to the
motorcycle's size and weight.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Ride defensively
Always pay due attention to other vehicles
around you, and do not assume that other
drivers see you. Be prepared to stop quickly or
perform an evasive maneuver.
Make yourself easily visible
Some drivers do not see because motorcycles
they are not looking for them. To make yourself
more visible, wear bright reflective clothing,
position yourself so that others can see you,
signal before turning or changing lanes, and use
horn which will help others to notice you.
Ride within your limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of
motorcycle accidents. Never ride beyond your
personal abilities or faster than conditions
demand. Remember that fatigue and
negligence can significantly reduce your ability
to make good judgements and ride safely.
Do not drink and ride
Riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs
is dangerous. Alcohol can reduce your ability
to respond to changing conditions and reduce
the reaction time. Do not drink and ride.
Keep your motorcycle in safe condition
For safe riding, its important to inspect your
motorcycle before every ride and perform all
recommended maintenance. Never exceed
load limits, and use accessories that have been
recommended by Hero MotoCorp for this
vehicle.

Additional riding gear
Helmets and eye protection
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we
also recommend:
îLeather gloves to keep your hands warm
and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns, and
bruises.
îA two wheeler riding suit or jacket for
comfort as well as protection. Bright
coloured reflective clothing can help make
you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to
avoid loose clothes that could get caught on
any part of your motorcycle.
An open-face helmet offers some protection,
but a full-face helmet offers more. Always
wear face shield or goggles to protect your
eyes and help your vision.
Your Helmet is your most important piece of
riding gear because it offers the best
protection against head injuries. A helmet
should fit your head comfortably and securely.
A bright coloured helmet can make you more
noticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips.
îSturdy boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
îNot wearing a helmet increases the chance
of serious injury or death in a crash.
îBe sure you and your pillion always wear a
helmet, eye protection and other protective
apparel when you ride.
WARNING
Personal safety is your first priority. If you or
anyone else has been injured, take time to
assess the severity of the injuries and whether
it is safe to continue riding. Call for emergency
assistance if needed. Also follow applicable
laws and regulations if another person or
vehicle is involved in the crash.
If you decide to continue riding, first evaluate
the condition of your motorcycle. If the engine
is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid
leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and
bolts, and check the handlebar, brake levers,
brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly and
cautiously. Your motorcycle may have
suffered damage that is not immediately
apparent. Have your motorcycle thoroughly
checked at a qualified service facility as soon
as possible.
If you are involved in a crash
For your safety, we strongly recommend that
you always wear an approved helmet (ISI
marked), eye protection, boots, gloves, long
pants and a long sleeve shirt or jacket
whenever you ride. Take care of loose/
hanging clothes while solo/pillion riding.
Although complete protection is not possible,
wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of
injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you choose
proper riding gear.
