Safe Riding Precautions

Before riding your motorcycle for the first
time, please review the Important Safety
Information beginning on page 2 and the
previous section, titled Before Riding.
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,
take time to become familiar with how this
motorcycle works and handles. Practice in a
safe area until you build up your skills and get
accustomed to your motorcycle's size and
weight.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the
engine in an enclosed area such as a garage.
Your motorcycle's exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly
in an enclosed area and cause illness or death.

Basic Operation & Riding
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.
Your motorcycle is not equipped with lights.
Do not ride at night.
