MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

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.

Before riding your motorcycle

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.

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.

Make yourself easily visible

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.

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.

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.

4

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.

In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we

also recommend:

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.

Additional riding gear

îSturdy boots with non-slip soles to help

protect your feet and ankles.

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.

Helmets and eye protection

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

Following are suggestions to help you choose

proper riding gear.

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.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

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.

If you are involved in a crash

5

the Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop.
