MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

3. Accessories which alter your riding position by moving

hands or feet away from controls may increase reaction
time in an emergancy.

4. Do not add electrical equipment that will exceed the

motorcycle's electrical system capacity. A blown fuse could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

5. This motorcycle was not designed to pull a sidecar or 

trailer. Handling may be serious impaired if so equipped.

6. Any modification of the cooling system may cause

overheating and serious engine damage. Do not modify the
radiator shrouds or install accessories which block or 
deflect air away from the radiator.
