Caution!
To prevent injury when starting the motorcycle, boots
should be worn. Your foot may slip off the starter pedal
or the engine may kickback if the kick was not hard

Exhaust fumes are highly toxic and may result in loss
of consciousness or even loss of life. When the engine
is running, ensure that there is always adequate
ventilation.
Warning!
Driving the motorcycle while the engine is cold is not
recommended as the piston heats up more quickly
than the water cooled cylinder. Allow the engine to
warm up while idling or driving at low speeds.

the accelerator.
