Safety Labels

Motorcycle Safety

Safety labels on your motorcycle either warn you of potential hazards that could cause
serious injury or they provide important safety information. Read these labels carefully and
don’t remove them.

If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your dealer for a replacement.
