tic Converter
This motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic converter in the exhaust system. Platinum and rhodium in the
converter will react with carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and then convert them into carbon dioxide and
water resulting in much cleaner exhaust gases to be discharged into the atmosphere.
For proper operation of the catalytic converter, the following cautions must be followed:
●
Only use unleaded g
asoline. Never use leaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline significantly reduces the
service life of catalytic converter.
Do not coast the vehicle with the ignition switch and/or engine stop switch off. Do not attempt to start
the engine by rolling the vehicle when the battery is discharged. Do not operate the vehicle or piston
when gear in NEUTRAL. Under these conditions, unburned air/fuel mixture will flow into exhaust system,
accelerate the reaction with the converter which leads the converter becomes overheated and damaged
when the engine is hot, or reduce converter performance when the engine is cold.
