Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death.
If you run the engine in confined or even partly
enclosed area, the air you breathe could contain a
dangerous amount of carbon monoxide.
Never run your motorcycle inside a garage or other
enclosure.
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.
