Risk of poisoning
Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which is colorless and
odorless but highly toxic.
Inhaling exhaust fumes
therefore represents a
health hazard and can even
cause loss of consciousness with
fatal consequences.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Do not run the engine in closed
rooms.
Danger of burns
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.
Modifications
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.
