Introduction
We at OSSA Motor would like to thank you for purchasing one of
our products.
When designing the Explorer, OSSA engineers and designers were
based on the following approach: create a bike that was easier to
reach the most difficult places. Its extreme lightness and trials
qualities, combined with its enhanced ergonomics, make it possi-
ble to enjoy both tours real quiet as trial areas.
For 2014, the Explorer receives multiple internal and external im-
provements. The engine has been thoroughly revised to improve
reliability and further refine its operation, while in the cycle have
polished practical details that make the experience even better to
ride an Explorer.
OSSA motorcycles have been designed, assembled and tested by
experts, and each of its parts has been produced under the su-
pervision of OSSA engineers so as to obtain the best possible re-
sults and the best possible performance.
At OSSA Motor we know that each motorcycle model is unique
and has its own features, which is why we dedicate so much time
on research and design for each item.

User manual 5
Both your safety and the safety of others are very important when
riding a motorcycle.
Some important advice for using your motorcycle correctly is de-
tailed below.
- Always drive in a responsible way.
- Always use a helmet.
- This motorcycle is designed to be used in both urban and rural
areas. It should be used, however, while respecting other people
and the environment. If, in your geographical area, the use of
motorcycles in rural areas is restricted, you must respect the law.
- Always wear appropriate clothing and protective accessories.
Gloves, boots and thick trousers, among others, are recommen-
dable. Do not wear baggy clothing that might get caught on a
mechanism in the motorcycle.
- Be careful with the exhaust system! The exhaust system gets
extremely hot during and after use of the motorcycle. In the event
of suffering burns, see a doctor as soon as possible.
- Take the time necessary to become familiar with your new mo-
torcycle.
- Make sure your motorcycle is serviced regularly to avoid break-
downs while driving.
- Never ride if you have consumed alcohol or any type of substance
(medication, drugs) that might affect your driving capability.
- Moderate speed. Do not exceed 63 KPH (40 MPH).
- Do not cross water areas.
- Do not release your hands from the handlebars.
- Do not perform risky maneuvers and stunts.
- Do not use your motorcycle for transporting or towing loads. In
the event of needing to carry loads, always use the box under the
seat. This load may be light-weight and small in volume so that
driving is not affected. Ensure that there are no loose leashes or
other elements that might get caught inside a mechanism. Never
apply additional weight to the handlebars, fork or mudguards. Be
specially careful when transporting any type of load.
- Do not clean the motorcycle with pressurized-water equipment,
since this may damage the parts.
