• Do not run the engine in a closed
space.
Even if you try to dissipate exhaust
gases with fans or opening doors and
windows, the carbon dioxide can rap-
idly reach dangerous levels.
• Do not run engines in rooms with a
lack of ventilation or partially closed
areas such as factory buildings, ga-
rages or under canopy roofs for car
ports.
• Do not run the engine outside where
exhaust gases can enter the sur-
rounding buildings through openings
like doors or windows.
LOAD
The addition of accessories of loads to
the motorcycle can negatively affect its
stability and use, if it changes the distri-
bution of weights on the motorcycle. To
avoid possible accidents, adding loads
or accessories to the motorcycle must
be done with extreme care.
Take great care when riding a motorcy-
cle that has had loads or accessories
added. Together with the information
about accessories, there is a list of some
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
general guidelines to respect in case of
transporting loads on the motorbike.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Using an overloaded vehicle may lead to
accidents.
Loading the vehicle within the correct
limits, take the following into account:
• Keep the weight of the load and ac
-
cessories as low as possible and as
close as possible to the motorcycle.
Carefully secure the heavier items
as close as possible to the centre of
the vehicle and be sure to distribute
weights evenly on both sides of the
motorcycle to reduce imbalances or
instability to a minimum.
• Moving loads may be the cause of
sudden losses of balance. Make sure
that accessories and loads are prop-
erly secured to the motorcycle before
starting it. Frequently check the sup-
ports of the accessories and devices
that secure loads.
• Correctly adjust suspension accord
-
ing to load (adjustable suspension
models only) and check tyre condi-
tions and pressure.
• Never attach large or heavy items to
the handlebars, fork or mudguard.
These items, including loads such as
sleeping bags, bags with personal ef-
fects or tents, can cause instability or
reduce the steering response.
• This vehicle is not designed to tow a
trailer or to be connected to a side-
car.

dents occurring with regard to changes
