      If the low oil pressure indicator illuminates, safely pull over to the side of the road and immediately stop the engine. Check the engine oil level and add oil if needed. Only continue riding if the low oil pressure indicator turns off. Note that rapid acceleration might momentarily activate the indicator, especially when the oil level is low. If the indicator stays on even when the oil level is correct, stop the engine and contact your dealer.

      First, check if the radiator fan is working. If it is, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If the fan isn't running, stop the engine using the ignition switch, then turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but do not start the engine. Transport your motorcycle to your dealer for assistance. Also, check the coolant level in the reserve tank and add coolant as necessary. If these checks appear normal, you may continue riding, but closely monitor the engine temperature.
