DO NOT ride your motorcycle with full load and DO NOT rev
up the engine when cold. Since the piston warms up and ex-
pands faster than the liquid cooled cylinder, this might cause
engine damage. Always let the engine idle until warm or ride it
warm at low RPM speeds.
CAUTION
!
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the motorcycle
in an enclosed area with poor ventilation, such as a garage.
The motorcycle’s exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon
monoxide which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and
result in illness or death.
