Warning Labels

Caution

All warning labels and decals, with the exception of the Breaking-in label, are

mounted on the motorcycle using a strong adhesive. In some cases, labels are

installed prior to an application of paint lacquer.
Therefore, any attempt to remove the warning labels will cause damage to the

paintwork or body work.
