SAFETY INFORMATION
• Certain accessories can dis-
place the operator from his or
her normal riding position. This
improper position limits the
freedom of movement of the
operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such acces-
sories are not recommended.
Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle's electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a danger-
ous loss of lights or engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAM-
MABLE:
• Always turn the engine off
when refueling.
• Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
system when refueling.
• Never refuel while smoking or
in the vicinity of an open flame.
Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
motorcycle in an area that has ad-
equate ventilation.
Always turn the engine off before
leaving the motorcycle unattend-
ed and remove the key from the
main switch. When parking the
motorcycle, note the following:
• The engine and exhaust sys-
tem may be hot, therefore, park
the motorcycle in a place where
pedestrians or children are not
likely to touch these hot areas.
• Do not park the motorcycle on
a slope or soft ground, other-
wise it may fall over.
• Do not park the motorcycle
near a flammable source, (e.g.,
a kerosene heater, or near an
open flame), otherwise it could
catch fire.
When transporting the motorcycle
in another vehicle, make sure that
it is kept upright. If the motorcycle
should lean over, gasoline may
leak out of the fuel tank.
If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediate-
ly. If any gasoline spills on your
skin or clothing, immediately
wash the affected area with soap
and water and change your
clothes.
