CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The purpose of the catalytic converter
is to minimize the amount of harmful
pollutants in your motorcycle’s exhaust.
Use of leaded fuel in motorcycles
equipped with catalytic converters is
prohibited because lead deactivates the
pollutant-reducing components of the
catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life
of the motorcycle under normal usage
and when unleaded fuel is used. Not
special maintenance is required on the
converter. However, it is very important
to keep the engine properly tuned.
Engine misfiring, which can result from
an improperly tuned engine, may cause
overheating of the catalyst. This may
result in permanent heat damage to the
catalyst and other motorcycle compo-
nents.

WARNING
If you park or operate the motorcycle
in areas where there are combustible
materials such as dry grass or
leaves, these materials may come in
contact with the catalytic converter
or other hot exhaust components.
This can cause a fire.
Avoid parking or operating your vehi-
cle in areas with any combustible
materials.
