Safe Riding Precautions

Before riding your motorcycle for the first time,
please review the Important Safety Precaution
beginning on page 2 and the previous section,
titled Before Riding.
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.
