Helmet Hook (if fitted)
Warning
Never ride the motorcycle with
helmet(s) secured to the helmet hook
as this may cause the motorcycle to
become unstable leading to loss of
control and an accident.
Caution
Do not allow helmet(s) to rest against
a hot muffler. The helmet may be
damaged.
A helmet can be secured to the
motorcycle using the helmet hook
located on the left hand side of the
motorcycle, beneath the seat.
To attach a helmet to the motorcycle:
• Remove the seat (see page 72) and
loop the helmet chin strap over the
hook.
• Make sure the flat area above
the hook is not obstructed by the
helmet strap, as this will prevent the
seat engaging correctly.
• To secure the helmet, re-install the
seat and lock into position.

Seat Care
Caution
To prevent damage to the seats or

drop the seats.
Do not lean the seats against the
motorcycle or any surface which may
damage the seats or seat covers.
Instead, place the seats, with the seat
cover facing upwards, on a clean, flat
surface which is covered with a soft
cloth.
Do not place any item on the seats
which may cause damage or staining
to the seat covers.
