Safe Riding’S moRe fun
Ride responsibly. Kawasaki believes safety begins with us and
continues with you. Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and
proper apparel. Passengers, too. Ride defensively. If riding off-
highway, use authorized areas only. Obey the Basic Speed Law.
Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Riding is more
fun on a well-maintained motorcycle...follow the instructions in
your owner’s manual. Remember, riding safe is smart.
Specifications subject to change without notice. Availability may be limited. Always
wear a helmet and appropriate apparel. Call 1-800-446-9227 for the Motorcycle
Safety Foundation beginner or expert course near you. You won’t even need a
motorcycle−your course sponsor will provide one courtesy of your local dealer.
