You & The Environment - Honda VFR1200F Owner's Manual

You & the Environment
Owning and riding a motorcycle can be
enjoyable, but you must do your part to
protect the environment.
Choose Sensible Cleaners
Use a biodegradable detergent when you
wash your motorcycle. Avoid aerosol spray
cleaners that contain chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) which damage the atmosphere's
protective ozone layer.
Recycle Wastes
Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved
containers and take them to a recycling center.
Call your local or state office of public works
or environmental services to find a recycling
center in your area, and to get instructions on
how to dispose of non-recyclable wastes. Do
not place used engine oil in the trash, or pour
it down a drain or on the ground. Used oil,
gasoline, coolant, and cleaning solvents
contain poisons that can hurt refuse workers
and contaminate drinking water, lakes, rivers,
and oceans.
