NOTICE
Improper motorcycle operation
can cause catalyst or other motor-
cycle damage.
To avoid damage to the catalyst or
other related components, you
should take the following precau-
tions:
• Maintain the engine in the
proper operating condition.
• In the event of an engine mal-
function, particularly one involv-
ing engine misfire or other
apparent performance loss,
stop riding the motorcycle and
turn off the engine and have the
motorcycle serviced promptly.
• Do not shut off the engine or
interrupt the ignition when the
transmission is in gear and the
motorcycle is in motion.
• Do not try to start the engine by
pushing the motorcycle or by
coasting down a hill.
• Do not idle the engine with any
spark plug wires disconnected
or removed, such as during
diagnostic testing.
• Do not idle the vehicle for pro-
longed periods if idling seems
rough or there are other mal-
functions.
• Do not allow the fuel tank to get
near the empty level.
WARNING
If you park or operate the motorcy-
cle in areas where there are com-
bustible materials such as dry
grass or leaves, these materials
may come in contact with the cat-
alytic converter or other hot
exhaust components. This can
cause a fire.
Avoid parking or operating your
vehicle in areas with any combus-
tible materials.
