a trailer or be fitted with a sidecar.
Fitting a sidecar and/or a trailer
may result in loss of control and an
accident.
Warning
This motorcycle is fitted with a
catalytic converter below the engine,
which along with the exhaust system
reaches a very high temperature
during engine operation.
Flammable materials such as grass,
hay/straw, leaves, clothing and
luggage etc. could ignite if allowed
to come into contact with any part
of the exhaust system and catalytic
converter.
Always make sure flammable materials

system or catalytic converter.
Warning
Riding the motorcycle off-road may
result in loosening of the spokes.
Make sure that the spokes are
checked before and after riding the
motorcycle off-road. Tighten any
loose spokes and check for wheel rim
damage.
Spokes that are loose may affect
handling and stability resulting in
motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
Check the wheel rims and spokes
regularly for wear and damage.
Check spoke tension at all intervals
listed in the maintenance schedule.
Tighten any loose spokes.
Incorrectly tightened spokes may
affect handling and stability resulting
in motorcycle damage, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Caution
Riding the motorcycle in extreme
conditions such as wet and muddy
roads, on rough terrain or in dusty
and humid environments, may lead to
above average wear and damage of
certain components.
Therefore the servicing and
replacement of worn or damaged
components may be necessary before
the scheduled maintenance service is
reached.
It is important that the motorcycle
is inspected after riding in extreme
conditions and any worn or damaged
components are serviced or replaced.
