1-6

a. The engine and exhaust system may be hot. Park the motorcycle in a place where pedestrians 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.

4. When transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle, be sure it is kept upright. 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 in your

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