Fuel and Exhaust Fumes
Warning
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
Always turn off the engine when
refueling.
Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap
while smoking or in the vicinity of any
open (naked) flame.
Take care not to spill any gasoline on
the engine, exhaust pipes or mufflers
when refueling.
If gasoline is swallowed, inhaled or
allowed to get into the eyes, seek
immediate medical attention.
Spillage on the skin should be
immediately washed off with soap
and water and clothing contaminated
with gasoline should immediately be
removed.
Burns and other serious skin
conditions may result from contact
with gasoline.
Warning
Never start the engine or run the
engine in a confined area.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can
cause loss of consciousness and death
within a short period of time.
Always operate the motorcycle in the
open air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
Helmet and Clothing
Warning
When riding the motorcycle, both
rider and passenger (on models where
carrying a passenger is permitted)
must always wear appropriate clothing
including a motorcycle helmet, eye
protection, gloves, boots, trousers
(close fitting around the knee and
ankle) and a brightly colored jacket.
During off-road use (on models
suitable for off-road use), the rider
must always wear appropriate clothing
including trousers and boots.
Brightly colored clothing will
considerably increase a rider's
(or passenger's) visibility to other
operators of road vehicles.
Although full protection is not possible,
wearing correct protective clothing
can reduce the risk of injury when
riding.
