SAFETY INFORMATION

1

1-6

a. The engine and exhaust system may be hot, therefore, park the motorcycle in a place where pe-

destrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.

b. Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.
c. Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source (e.g. a kerosene heater, or near an open

flame), otherwise it could catch fire.

4. When transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle, make sure that it is kept upright and that the fuel

cock is turned to “ON” or “RES” (for vacuum type) / “OFF” (for manual type). If it should lean over,
gasoline may leak out of the carburetor or fuel tank.

5. If you should swallow any gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get into your

eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash
the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.
