Transporting Your Vehicle; You & The Environment - Honda CBR650RA Owner's Manual

Transporting Your Vehicle

Transporting Your Vehicle
If your vehicle needs to be transported, it
should be carried on a motorcycle trailer or a
flatbed truck or trailer that has a loading ramp
or lifting platform, and motorcycle tie-down
straps. Never try to tow your vehicle with a
wheel or wheels on the ground.
NOTICE
Towing your vehicle with a wheel or wheels on
the ground can cause serious damage to the
transmission.

You & the Environment
Owning and riding a vehicle can be enjoyable,
but you must do your part to protect the
environment.
Choose Sensible Cleaners
Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash your
vehicle. 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 centre.
Call your local or state office of public works or
environmental services to find a recycling centre 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, petrol, coolant,
and cleaning solvents contain poisons that can
hurt refuse workers and contaminate drinking
water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
