SIMILARLY, A DISABLED MOTORCYCLE SHOULD NEVER BE TOWED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. TOWING FORCES
CREATE AN UNSTABLE CONDITION THAT COULD LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER ADD A SIDECAR TO
YOUR AMERICAN IRONHORSE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT DESIGNED OR CONSTRUCTED FOR SUCH USE.
• The vehicle’s exhaust system becomes very hot from normal operation. Always wear appropriate clothing to
prevent direct skin contact with exhaust pipes and mufflers. Never touch exhaust system components until
they have had about 25 minutes or more to cool down after shutting down your engine.
• NEVER LET OTHER INDIVIDUALS OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE UNLESS YOU ARE CERTAIN OF THEIR RIDING
SKILLS AND THEIR FAMILIARITY WITH YOUR AMERICAN IRONHORSE VEHICLE, WHICH MAY OPERATE
DIFFERENTLY FROM THOSE VEHICLES WITH WHICH THEY MAY BE FAMILIAR.
• Always secure your vehicle when left unattended by locking at the rotor with a rotor lock and locking and
removing the ignition key. This will help prevent unauthorized use or theft.
• When your vehicle will not be in use, close the fuel supply valve to prevent accidental gasoline spillage. For
California vehicles with Evaporative Emission Systems, failure to do so could cause serious damage to your
engine when gasoline leaks into crankcase oil.
• Pay particular attention to the traction, steering components, and systems of your vehicle. Tires should be
continuously monitored for correct inflation pressure, tread wear condition, cuts and abrasions. Steering and
vehicle suspension systems should not exhibit excessive “play” under operation. Such conditions can lead to
vehicle instability and result in possible personal injury. The condition of shock absorbing components such as
front forks and shock absorbers should be monitored for function and possible leaks. The presence or
suspicion of the presence of any of these conditions should lead to immediate consultation with a
professionally trained mechanic.
