Motorcycle Safety
Unlike standard motorcycles, or its manual
transmission sibling, the CTX700ND with dual-
clutch transmission does not have a clutch lever
that would provide you with an additional
means to control the engine power being
transmitted to the rear wheel. Thus, in the
unlikely event that you experience a stuck
throttle or other unintended application of
power to the rear wheel, you should shut down
the engine by use of the engine stop switch
(
2 P. 31). By moving this switch to the off
position, you will immediately stop the engine
but maintain all electrical system functions,
including lights and indicators.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
a colorless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death.
If you run the engine in confined or even partly
enclosed area, the air you breathe could contain
a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide.
Never run your motorcycle inside a garage or
other enclosure.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and even kill you.
Avoid any areas or activities that
expose you to carbon monoxide.
