SAFETY INFORMATION

1-5

a. Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper

weight distribution or aerodynamic changes. If accessories are added to the handlebar or front

fork area, they must be as lightweight as possible and should be kept to a minimum.

b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to aerodynamic

effects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may become unstable in cross

winds. These accessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large

vehicles.

c. Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improp-

er position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability, therefore,

such accessories are not recommended.

2. Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of the

motorcycle’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of

lights or engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas

1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

a. Always turn the engine off when refueling.

b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.

c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.

2. Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poi-

sonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your

motorcycle in an area that has adequate ventilation.

3. Always turn the engine off before leaving the motorcycle unattended and remove the key from the

main switch. When parking the motorcycle, note the following:
