head injuries. The use of a safety helmet
is the single most critical factor in the
prevention or reduction of head injuries.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,
confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless,
odorless, tasteless gas which may be
present even if you do not see or smell
any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and
you can quickly be overcome and unable
to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can linger for hours or
days in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. If you experience any symptoms
of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the
area immediately, get fresh air, and
SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
z
Do not run engine indoors. Even if
you try to ventilate engine exhaust
with fans or open windows and
doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly
reach dangerous levels.
z
Do not run engine in poorly
ventilated or partially enclosed
areas such as barns, garages, or
carports.
z
Do not run engine outdoors where
engine exhaust can be drawn into
a building through openings such
as windows and doors.

handling if the weight distribution of the
motorcycle is changed. To avoid the
possibility of an accident, use extreme

your motorcycle. Use extra care when

guidelines to follow if adding accessories
