Catalytic converter
If misfiring causes unburned fuel
to enter the catalytic converter,
there is a danger of overheating
and damage.
For this reason, observe the fol-
lowing points:
Do not run the fuel tank dry.
Do not run the engine with the
spark-plug cap removed.
Stop the engine immediately if
it misfires.
Use unleaded fuel only.
Comply with all specified main-
tenance intervals.
Unburned fuel will destroy
the catalytic converter.
Note the points listed for protec-
tion of the catalytic converter.
Danger of overheating
Cooling would be inade-
quate if the engine were al-
lowed to idle for a lengthy period
with the motorcycle at a stand-
still: overheating would result. In
extreme cases, the motorcycle
could catch fire.
Do not allow the engine to idle
unnecessarily. After starting, ride
off immediately.
Modifications
Modifications of the mo-
torcycle (e.g. engine man-
agement system, throttle valves,
clutch) can cause damage to the
affected components and fail-
ure of safety-related functions.
Damage caused in this way is
not covered by the warranty.
Do not make any modifications.

tings and wear limits before you
