Safe Riding Precautions

Before riding your CRF for the first time, please
review the Important Safety Precautions
beginning on page 2 and the previous section,
titled Before Riding.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the
engine in an enclosed area such as a garage.
Your CRF's exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an
enclosed area and cause illness or death.
WARNING
Running the engine of your vehicle while
in an enclosed or even partially enclosed
area can cause a rapid build-up of toxic
carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can
quickly cause unconsciousness and lead
to death.
Only run your vehicle's engine when it is
located in a well ventilated area outdoors.

stand down. Slowly lean your CRF to the left until
its weight rests on the side stand. Turn the
handlebar fully to the left.
Before riding, raise the side stand.
