General safety rules
Carbon oxide
When a maintenance operation must be performed with the engine running, position the motorcycle
out of doors or in a well-ventilated area. Never operate the engine in an enclosed place.
Warning
Exhaust emissions contain carbon oxide, which is a poisonous gas and may lead to loss of conscience
or even death.
Operate the engine out of doors or, if working indoors, use an exhaust emission extraction plant.
Fuel
Always make sure the area is well ventilated. Do not smoke near the motorcycle or the area where fuel
is stored and keep any sources of ignition, such as flames or sparks, well away from motorcycle and
fuel storage area.
Warning
The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable and becomes explosive under particular
conditions. Keep away from children.
Hot component parts
Warning
The engine and exhaust component parts become hot when the engine is running and will stay hot for
some time after the engine has been stopped. Wear heat gloves before handling these components or
allow for the engine and exhaust system to cool down before proceeding.
Warning
The exhaust system will stay hot for some time after the engine has been stopped. Do not touch these
components with your body and do not park the vehicle near flammable materials (including wood,
leaves...).
Used engine oil
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil may cause skin cancer. If exposed to engine oil on a
daily basis, make it a rule to wash your hands thoroughly with soap right after handling engine oil.
Keep away from children.
