SAFE OPERATING RULES
 DO NOT fill the tank to its brim. Please fill fuel
only till the bottom of the filler neck insert, so as
to leave air space in the fuel tank to allow for
fuel expansion.
W A R N I N G
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive. Use care when handling gasoline. Always
stop the engine when refuelling or servicing the fuel
system. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks
near gasoline. Do not store motorcycle with gasoline
in the tank, within the home or garage where open
flames, pilot lights, sparks or electric motors are
present. Inadequate safety precautions could cause
an explosion or fire which could result in damage to
property, serious injury or death.
A new motorcycle must be operated according to

the special break-in-procedure. See BREAK-IN-
THE FIRST 500 KM section.
Operate motorcycle only at moderate speeds and

out of traffic until you have become thoroughly
familiar with its operation and handling
characteristics under all conditions.
DO NOT exceed the legal speed limit or drive

too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce
speed when poor driving conditions exist. High
speed increases the influence of any other
condition affecting stability and increases the
possibility of loss of control.
NOTE
If you are an inexperienced rider we recommend that
you obtain formal training on correct motorcycle riding
techniques and become thoroughly familiar with the
operation of your particular motorcycle. New riders
should gain experience under various conditions while
driving at moderate speeds.
