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.
Warning
If the engine has recently been
running, the exhaust components may
be hot to the touch.
Contact with the hot components may
cause damage to exposed skin.
To avoid skin damage, always allow the
hot parts to cool before touching the

engine oil will cause engine damage.
If the low oil pressure indicator
remains
on, stop the engine
immediately and investigate the
situation.
