Speed
If you ride at high speed, always
bear in mind that various bound-
ary conditions can adversely af-
fect the handling of your motor-
cycle:
Settings of the spring-strut and
shock-absorber system
Imbalanced load
Loose clothing
Insufficient tyre pressure
Poor tyre tread
Etc.
Maximum speed with
massive-bar tyres
The motorcycle's top
speed might be higher than
the maximum speed permitted
for the tyres. Excessive speeds
can damage the tyres and this
could cause accidents.
Comply with the tyre-specific
speed restrictions.
Always bear the maximum per-
missible top speed of the tyres
in mind when riding a motorcycle
fitted with massive-bar tyres.
Affix a label stating the maximum
permissible speed in the rider's
field of vision.
Risk of poisoning
Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which is colourless
and odourless but highly toxic.
Inhaling the exhaust fumes
therefore represents a
health hazard and can even
cause loss of consciousness with
fatal consequences.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Do not run the engine in an en-
closed space.
