Take a rider training course.

Read owner's manual before riding, adding accessories or servicing.

Wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing.

Never tow a trailer.

Review the TRIKE PRODUCT ORIENTATION VIDEO provided with your vehicle to understand the operation and characteristics of your three-wheeled motorcycle.

Know and respect the rules of the road. See Safety First → Rules of the Road. Carefully read and familiarize yourself with the motorcycle safety information provided by your country or state. Read the RIDING TIPS booklet provided with your Owner's Kit (in the U.S.) and the MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK which is made available by your state or regional traffic authority. The RIDING TIPS booklet is also available on www.msf-usa.org.

Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brakes, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, correct fuel and oil supply.

Use only Harley-Davidson approved parts and accessories. Use of certain other manufacturer's performance parts may void your new motorcycle warranty, except where prohibited by law. See your Harley-Davidson dealer for details.

Refuel in a ventilated area with the engine turned off.

Remove fuel filler cap slowly.

Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refueling or servicing the fuel system.

Do not fill fuel tank above the bottom of the filler neck insert.

Leave air space to allow for fuel expansion.

A new motorcycle must be operated according to the special break-in procedure. See Operation → Break-in Riding Rules.

Operate motorcycle only at moderate speed and out of traffic until you become thoroughly familiar with its operation and handling characteristics under all conditions.

Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.

Steering and handling characteristics for a three wheeled motorcycle are different than a two wheeled motorcycle. Approach corners and sharp turns using the appropriate speed and steering technique to handle the turn and prevent rollover.

Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions, and always keep both hands on the handlebar grips when riding the motorcycle. The vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces and rider control error. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If you experience these conditions, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable condition.

The rear of the vehicle is wider than a typical motorcycle. Check for proper clearance when maneuvering, cornering, parking and operating the vehicle in reverse.

Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible to minimize the change in the motorcycle's center of gravity. Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle. Do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front forks. Do not exceed maximum specified load in Tour-Pak or trunk.

Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember, a motorcycle does not afford the same protection as an automobile in an accident. One common risk for an accident occurs when another vehicle turns left in front of an on-coming motorcyclist. Operate only with headlamp on.

Wear an approved helmet, clothing and foot gear suited for motorcycle riding. Bright or light colors are best for greater visibility in traffic, especially at night. Avoid loose, flowing garments and scarves.

When carrying passengers, it is your responsibility to instruct them on proper riding procedures. See the RIDING TIPS booklet included in your Harley-Davidson Owner's Kit (in the U.S.) or available on www.msf-usa.org.

Do not allow other individuals, under any circumstances, to operate your motorcycle unless you know that they are experienced, licensed riders and are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your particular motorcycle.

Protect your motorcycle against theft. Using the fork lock immediately after parking your motorcycle will discourage unauthorized use or theft.

Safe motorcycle operation requires alert mental judgment combined with a defensive driving attitude. Do not allow fatigue, alcohol or drugs to endanger your safety or that of others.

For vehicles with a sound system, adjust the volume to a non-distracting level before operating vehicle.

Maintain your motorcycle in proper operating condition in accordance with Maintenance Scheduling → Service Records. Proper care and maintenance, including tire pressure, tire condition, tread depth and proper adjustment to steering head bearings are important to stability and safe operation of the motorcycle.

See your Harley-Davidson service manual for proper torque values.

Aftermarket fasteners may not have the specific property requirements to perform properly.

GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories and the maximum weight of the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.

GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each axle.

The GVWR and GAWR are shown on the information label on the frame downtube.

Refer to Specifications → Specifications → Weights for weights.

Make sure all equipment required by federal, state and local law is installed and in good operating condition.
