TAKING CARE OF THE
UNEXPECTED

If You Crash

Personal safety is your first priority after a crash. If
you or anyone else has been injured, take time to
assess the severity of the injuries and whether it is safe
to continue riding. Call for emergency assistance if
needed. Also follow applicable laws and regulations
if another person or vehicle is involved in the crash.
If you decide that you are capable of riding safely,
first evaluate the condition of your motorcycle. If the
engine is still running, turn it off and look it over
carefully; inspect it for fluid leaks, check the tightness
of critical nuts and bolts, and secure such parts as
the handlebar, control levers, brakes, and wheels.
If there is minor damage, or you are unsure about
possible damage, ride slowly and cautiously.
Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not
immediately apparent, so you should have your
motorcycle thoroughly checked at a qualified service
facility as soon as possible. Also, be sure to have your
Honda dealer check the frame and suspension after
any serious crash.
