b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to aero-
dynamic effects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may become
unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause instability when being passed
by or passing large vehicles.
c. Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This
improper position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control
ability. Therefore such accessories are not recommended.
2. Caution must be used if adding electrical accessories. If these accessories exceed the
capacity of the motorcycle’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
a. Always turn off the engine when refueling.
b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.
c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
2. Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust
fumes are poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time.
Always operate your motorcycle in an area that has adequate ventilation.
3. Always turn off the engine before leaving the motorcycle unattended and remove the igni-
tion key. When parking the motorcycle, note the following:
a. The engine and exhaust system may be hot. Park the motorcycle in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.
b. Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground; the motorcycle may fall over.
c. Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source, e.g. a kerosene heater, or near an
open flame. The motorcycle could catch fire.
