General safety rules
Carbon monoxide
When a maintenance operation must be performed with the engine running, maker sure that the working area is well-ventilated.
Never run the engine in an enclosed space.
Warning
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous gas that can cause unconsciousness or even death if inhaled.
Run the engine outdoors or, if working indoors, use an exhaust fume extraction system.
Fuel
Always make sure the working area is well ventilated. Keep any sources of ignition, such as cigarettes, open flames or sparks,
well away from the area in which fuel is stored.
Warning
Petrol is highly flammable and can explode under certain conditions. Keep away from children.
Hot parts
Warning
The engine and exhaust parts become hot when the motorcycle engine is running and will stay hot for some time after the engine
has been stopped. Wear heat-resistant gloves before handling these components or allow the engine and exhaust system to cool
down before proceeding.
Warning
The exhaust system might be hot, even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch exhaust system with any part
of your body and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves, etc.).
Used engine oil
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. If working with engine oil on a daily basis, make it a
rule to wash your hands thoroughly with soap immediately afterwards. Keep away from children.
Brake pad dust
Never clean the brake assemblies using compressed air or a dry brush.
Warning
Inhalation of asbestos fibres is a proven cause of respiratory illness and cancer.
Brake fluid
Warning
Avoid spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or painted parts of the motorcycle to avoid the risk of damage. Protect these parts
with a clean shop cloth before proceeding to service the motorcycle. Keep away from children.
Coolant
Engine coolant contains ethylene glycol, which may ignite under particular conditions, producing invisible flames. Although the
flames from burning ethylene glycol are not visible, they are still capable of causing severe burns.
Warning
Take care not to spill engine coolant on the exhaust system or engine parts. These parts may be hot and ignite the coolant, which
will subsequently burn with invisible flames.
