Safety During Service Procedures
• Hot engine and exhaust components can cause burns to skin and can ignite a fire if exposed to
flammable materials. Always park the motorcycle clear of flammable materials and where people are
not likely to contact hot components.
• Wear eye and face protection when using pressurized air.
• Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and
can cause loss of consciousness or death in a short time.
• During some procedures you may use potentially hazardous products such as oil or brake fluid.
Always follow the instructions and warnings on the product packaging.
