PROBLEMS THAT MAY AFFECT
THE MOTORCYCLE EMISSIONS
If any of the following symptoms are observed,
immediately have your motorcycle inspected
and repaired by Authorized Derbi Service Cen-
ter.

- Irregular idle.
- Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration.
- After-burning (backfiring).
- Poor engine performance, degraded handling,
or poor fuel economy.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
For your safety, we strongly recommend that
you always wear an approved motorcycle hel-
met, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants,
12
and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever
you ride.
Although complete protection is not possible,
wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of
injury. See your Boulevard Dealer for stylish,
comfortable and effective riding gear sugges-
tions.
HELMETS AND EYE PROTECTION
Your helmet is your most important piece of
riding gear because it offers the best protection
against head injuries. A helmet should fit your
head comfortably and securely. A brightcolored
helmet can make you more noticeable in traffic,
as can reflective strips.
An open-face helmet offers some protection,
but a full-face helmet offers more. Always
remember to properly fasten your crash helmet.
Regardless of the style, look for a DOT
(Department Of Transportation) sticker in any
helmet you buy (USA only), and always wear a
face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and
help your vision.
ADDITIONAL RIDING GEAR
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we
also recommend:
- Properly fitted boots with nonslip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
- Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and
help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises.
- A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort
as well as protection.
Brightly colored and reflective clothing can help
make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to
avoid loose clothes that could get caught on
any part of your motorcycle.
