SAFETY INFORMATION 2
2
Do not ride this motorcycle if you do not pos-
sess a regular driving licence. Failure to heed this
warning constitutes a breach of the Highway
Code, besides posing a serious hazard to the dri-
ver’s and other people’s safety.
Do not try to service or repair this motorcycle if
you do not possess the necessary skills.
Motorcycle riding demands your complete
attention. Do not ride if you are ill, in poor physi-
cal condition, or because of worry, etc., unable to
concentrate on the task at hand.
Always wear a helmet, even on short rides.
Always wear suitable clothes, especially when
travelling by night (e.g. garments with fluorescent
bands).
When refuelling, switch off the engine and
refrain from smoking.
When refuelling, stay away from the vehicle to
avoid inhaling harmful fumes. Should the fuel
come into contact with the skin or clothes, imme-
diately wash with water and change the contami-
nated garments.
Since petrol is highly flammable, avoid spilling
the fuel onto the tank and the exhaust pipes when
refuelling.
Do not start the engine in closed places.
Exhaust gases are toxic and can quickly saturate
the air and cause fainting or even death.
Before starting the engine in a closed place,
ensure that the area is well ventilated.
When travelling during the day, use the low beam.
While the vehicle is in motion, always rest the
feet on the specially designed supports.
While riding, always keep both hands on the
handlebars.
Park the vehicle where it is unlikely to be
bumped into or damaged. Even slight or involun-
tary bumps can cause the vehicle to topple over,
with subsequent risk of serious harm to people or
children.
To prevent the vehicle from tipping over, never
park it on soft or uneven ground, nor on asphalt
strongly heated by the sun.
