IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS ABOUT SAFE RIDING Your youngster's safety will depend on your commitment to always provide a safe riding environment and a properly maintained vehicle. As with any moving vehicle there are possible safety risks; be sure to heed these precautions. 1. Always equip your child with suitable protective gear and riding apparel. Be sure he or she always wears a helmet, over-the-ankle footwear or sturdy boots, eye protection, groves, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt while riding. Never allow your child to carry a passenger. This motorcycle is designed for an OPERATOR ONLY. This motorcycle is designed for off-road riding and should never be operated on public roads or paved surfaces. This motorcycle was not designed for hard riding such as motocross. Always obey local off-road riding laws and regulations. Obtain permission to ride on private property. You, the parent (and most likely "riding instructor/mechanic" as well), must be familiar with motorcycle controls and maintenance requirements plus riding techniques. Read and understand the owner's manual provided with the motorcycle. Review all instructions and warnings with your child. You must determine your child's readiness to ride this off-road motorcycle. Your child should already be familiar with motorcycle controls (location and function) and basic riding techniques. Your child should also be physically large enough, and strong enough to be able to straddle the motorcycle and hold it up, plus be able to pick up it up if it is on its side. Your child's safety depends in part on the good mechanical condition of the motorcycle. Be sure to follow the maintenance and adjustment requirements contained in the Periodic Maintenance Chart, Daily Pre-ride Inspection, and After-Race Check Points. Be sure your child understands the importance of checking all items thoroughly before riding the motorcycle. Also, familiarity with the motorcycle is important should a problem occur far from help. Do not allow your child to ride unsupervised. He or she should always ride in the company of an experienced adult. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
