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 vehicle so that you can assist each other in case of trouble.
  • Familiarity with your vehicle 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.
  • A 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.
