Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Owners Manual: Know your limits
Always ride within the boundaries of your own skills. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you avoid accidents.
A major cause of accidents involving only a motorcycle (and no cars) is going too fast through a turn. Before entering a turn, select an appropriately low cornering speed.
Even on straight roads, ride at a speed that is appropriate for th~ traffic, visibility and road conditions, your motorcycle, and your experience.
Riding a motorcycle safely requires that your mental and physical skills are fully part of the experience. You should not attempt to operate a motor vehicle, especially one with two wheels, if you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol, illegal drugs, and even some prescription and overthe- counter drugs can cause drowsiness, loss of coordination, loss of balance, and especially the loss of good judgment. If you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, please do not ride your motorcycle.
