Yamaha YZF-R125 Owners Manual: Safe Riding
Perform the pre-operation checks each
time you use the vehicle to make sure it
is in safe operating condition. Failure to
inspect or maintain the vehicle properly
increases the possibility of an accident
or equipment damage. See page 4-1
for a list of pre-operation checks.
- This motorcycle is designed to carry
the operator and a passenger.
- The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize motorcycles in traffic
is the predominating cause of
automobile/motorcycle accidents.
Many accidents have been caused
by an automobile driver who did
not see the motorcycle. Making
yourself conspicuous appears to
be very effective in reducing the
chance of this type of accident.
Therefore:
- Wear a brightly colored jacket.
- Use extra caution when you are
approaching and passing
through intersections, since intersections
are the most likely
places for motorcycle accidents
to occur.
- Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist's blind spot.
- Many accidents involve inexperienced
operators. In fact, many operators
who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a current
motorcycle license.
- Make sure that you are qualified
and that you only lend your motorcycle
to other qualified operators.
- Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
- We recommend that you practice
riding your motorcycle
where there is no traffic until you
have become thoroughly familiar
with the motorcycle and all of
its controls.
- Many accidents have been caused
by error of the motorcycle operator.
A typical error made by the operator
is veering wide on a turn due to excessive speed or
undercornering
(insufficient lean angle
for the speed).
- Always obey the speed limit and
never travel faster than warranted
by road and traffic conditions.
- Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
- The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
- The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the operator footrests
during operation to maintain
control of the motorcycle.
- The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger footrests.
Never carry a passenger unless
he or she can firmly place both
feet on the passenger footrests.
- Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
- This motorcycle is designed for onroad
use only. It is not suitable for
off-road use.

for the safe and proper operation
of your motorcycle.
