their functions before riding.

are poisonous, and inhaling

ciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
●
For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.
●
When the centerstand is down
and the engine is idling, keep
your hands and feet away from
the rear wheel.
