●
cannot come into contact with flammable
materials.
Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes
●
and other high-temperature parts until they
cool down.
To reduce the likelihood of theft, always
●
lock the handlebars and remove the key
when leaving the motorcycle unattended.
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.

position and remove the key.
