Warning:
Do not warm up the engine
with the motorcycle at a
standstill — risk of overheating
or fire!
Ride away immediately after
starting the engine.
To avoid overheating the air-
cooled engine and possible
damage as a result, avoid
even short warm-up periods
at a standstill. Avoid high
engine speeds after a cold
start.
