For your safety, avoid starting or operating the
motorcycle in an enclosed area with poor ventilation,
such as a garage. The motorcycle’s exhaust gas contains
poisonous carbon monoxide which can collect rapidly in
an enclosed area and result in illness or death.
CAUTION
DO NOT ride your motorcycle with full load and DO NOT
rev up the engine when cold. Since the piston warms up
and expands faster than the water cooled cylinder, this
might cause engine damage. Always let the engine idle
until warm or ride it warm at low RPM speeds.
