However, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best motorcycle does not ignore the laws of physics. 1 Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your motorcycle. Moreover, what is true for the motorcycle is also true for the rider: good performance depends on being in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of the question. Motorcycle riders--more than car drivers--must always be at their mental and physical best. Under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous risks. Protective clothing is as essential for the motorcycle rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passengers. Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic materials with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum protective wear, however, should not encourage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and suits, in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable. Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and defensively--avoiding all dangers, including those caused by others. Enjoy your ride! 1-1 DESCRIPTION Left view (XVS650) ............................................................................ 2-1 Right view (XVS650) .......................................................................... 2-2 Left view (XVS650A) .......................................................................... 2-3 Right view (XVS650A)........................................................................ 2-4 Controls and instruments (XVS650/XVS650A) .................................. 2-5 2 2- DESCRIPTION EAU00026 Left view (XVS650) 2 1.
