Warning
Danger of poisoning
Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.
–
Avoid skin, eye and clothing contact with fuel.
–
Immediately consult a doctor if you swallow fuel.
–
Do not inhale fuel vapors.
–
In case of skin contact, rinse the affected area with plenty of water.
–
Rinse the eyes thoroughly with water, and consult a doctor in case of fuel contact with the eyes.
–
Change your clothing in case of fuel spills on them.

Keep fuels correctly in a suitable canister, and out of the reach of children.
Info
If you plan to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, perform the following steps or have them per-
formed.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs, or replacements
are necessary, you should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you
can avoid long workshop waiting times at the start of the new season.

Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent
humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
Avoid running the engine for a short time only.
Because the engine will not warm up sufficiently,
the water vapor produced during combustion will
condense, causing engine parts and the exhaust
system to rust.
