After You Ride - MV Agusta Brutale R Owner's Manual

2.1.9. AFTER YOU RIDE

WARNING
a. The engine, exhaust pipes and other
2
components will be hot after riding and
present a risk of burn injury to adults or
children. Store the motorcycle in a place
that prevents others from coming in
contact with these hot component parts.
b. Never cover the motorcycle with
anything immediately after riding. Wait
until the motorcycle has thoroughly
cooled down. Covering the motorcycle
before the engine and its component
parts thoroughly cooled down presents
a risk of fire and property damage.
c. Park your motorcycle in a location
where it is unlikely to be bumped into by
bystanders. Even slight bumps can
cause the motorcycle to fall over, result-
ing in property damage, personal injury,
or death, especially to children.
SAFETY INFORMATION
d. Never park your motorcycle on soft or
uneven surfaces because that could
cause the motorcycle to topple over,
resulting in injury or death to a bystander.
Park your motorcycle on hard, flat and
level surfaces and ensure that the kick-
stand is fully engaged and the motorcy-
cle is stable. Avoid parking on hills or
upward sloping terrain, but, if necessary,
park the motorcycle facing uphill.
e. Never wash or clean the motorcycle
immediately after riding because hot
component parts present a risk of fire
when they come in contact with flamma-
ble substances. Wait until the motorcy-
cle has thoroughly cooled down. Never
use washing or cleaning systems
involving steam or high pressure
because that could cause damage to the
motorcycle, including the radiator fins.
