GENERAL SAFETY RULES

CARBON MONOXIDE

When an operation must be performed with
the engine running, position the motorcycle
outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never run
the engine in an enclosed place.
Use an exhaust emission extraction system
when working indoors.
WARNING
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
a poisonous gas which, if inhaled, may
cause loss of consciousness or even
death.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide is both colorless and
odorless, and cannot be detected by
smell, vision, or any other sense. Avoid
inhaling exhaust fumes under any
circumstances.
GASOLINE
Keep gasoline away from children. Gasoline
is also poisonous. Never attempt to siphon
gasoline using your mouth. Never allow
gasoline to come in contact with skin. If you
should accidentally spill gasoline on yourself,
remove contaminated clothing immediately
and wash the affected area with hot water and
soap. Should you accidentally swallow
gasoline, do not induce vomiting. Drink large
quantities of clear water or milk and
immediately seek medical attention. Should
you accidentally get gasoline in your eyes,
rinse abundantly with cool, clear water and
immediately seek medical attention.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
becomes explosive under certain
conditions.
KEEP GASOLINE AWAY
CHILDREN.

HOT COMPONENTS

WARNING
The engine and exhaust component parts,
as well as the braking system, become
very hot when running and will stay hot for
some time after the vehicle and the engine
have been stopped. Before handling any
vehicle component after riding, make sure
that it has cooled down and is safe to
handle.

USED ENGINE OIL

WARNING
Use latex gloves for maintenance
operations that require contact with used
oil. Prolonged or repeated contact with
used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
Although this is unlikely unless you
handle used oil on a daily basis, it is
advisable to thoroughly wash your hands
with soap and water after handling used
oil.
KEEP OIL AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
