Off-Road Safety - Honda XL200 Manual Del Propietário

Owner´s Manual
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only genuine
Honda accessories that have been specifically
designed and tested for your motorcycle. Because
Honda cannot test all other accessories, you must be
personally responsible for proper selection, installation
and use of non-Honda accessories. Check with your
dealer for assistance and always follow these
guidelines:
• Make sure the accessory does not obscure any
lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle,
limit suspension travel or steering travel, alter your
riding position or interfere with operating any
controls.
• Be sure electrical equipment does not exceed the
motorcycle's electrical system capacity (page 72).
• Do not pull a trailer or side car with your motorcycle.
This motorcycle was not designed for these
attachments, and their use can seriously impair your
motorcycle's handling.
Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any original
equipment or modify your motorcycle in any way that
would change its design or operation. Such changes
could seriously impair your motorcycle's handling,
stability and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
Removing or modifying your exhaust system or other
equipment can also make your motorcycle illegal.

Off-Road Safety

Learn to ride in an uncongested off-road area free of
obstacles before venturing onto unfamiliar terrain.
• Always obey local off-road riding laws and
regulations.
• Obtain permission to ride on private property. Avoid
posted areas and obey "NO Trespassing" signs.
• Ride with a friend on another motorcycle so that you
can assist each other in case of trouble.
• Familiarity with your motorcycle is critically important
should a problem occur far from help.
• Never ride beyond your ability and experience or
faster than conditions warrant.
• If you are not familiar with the terrain, ride cautiously.
Hidden rocks, holes, or ravines could spell disaster.
• Muffler is required in most off-road areas. Don't
modify your exhaust system. Remember that
excessive noise bothers everyone and creates a bad
image for motorcycling.
