Risk of burn injury
Engine and exhaust system
become very hot when the
vehicle is in use. There is a risk
of burn injuries by contact with
hot surfaces.
After parking the motorcycle,
make sure that nobody comes
into contact with the engine and
exhaust system.
Catalytic converter
If misfiring causes unburned fuel
to enter the catalytic converter,
there is a danger of overheating
and damage.
For this reason, observe the fol-
lowing points:
Do not run the fuel tank dry.
Do not run the engine with the
spark-plug cap removed.
Stop the engine immediately if
it misfires.
Use unleaded fuel only.
Comply with all specified main-
tenance intervals.
Unburned fuel will destroy
the catalytic converter.
Note the points listed for protec-
tion of the catalytic converter.
Danger of overheating
Cooling would be inade-
quate if the engine were al-
lowed to idle for a lengthy period
with the motorcycle at a stand-
still: overheating would result. In
extreme cases, the motorcycle
could catch fire.
Do not allow the engine to idle
unnecessarily. After starting, ride
off immediately.
Manipulation
Modifications of the mo-
torcycle (e.g. engine man-
agement system, throttle valves,
clutch) can cause damage to the
affected components and fail-
ure of safety-related functions.
Damage caused in this way is
not covered by the warranty.
Do not make any modifications.
Checklist
Use the following checklist to
check important functions, set-
tings and wear limits before you
ride off:
Brakes
Front and rear brake fluid levels
Clutch function
Clutch fluid level
Shock absorber setting and
spring preload
Tread depth and tire inflation
pressure
Secure attachment of the case
and the luggage.
At regular intervals:
Engine oil level (every time you
refuel)
Brake pad wear (during every
third stop for refueling).
