Exhaust fumes are poisonous, always operate a motorcycle in the open-air or in an
area with adequate ventilation.
Do not operate a motorcycle in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation.
Operating a motorcycle in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation can cause
loss of consciousness and death within a short period of time.
Do not start the motorcycle and engage gears while it is parked on its centre stand. Do
not attempt to adapt the gear positions with the motorcycle parked on its centre
stand.
Should the motorcycle fall off its centre stand while the rear wheel is in motion, the
motorcycle would accelerate rapidly. This could result in serious injury or death as well
as causing damage to the motorcycle and other property.
To re-adapt the gear positions:
1. Ensure the transmission is in neutral.
2. Start the engine and allow the neutral position to adapt (see Neutral Position
Adaption).
When riding the motorcycle the rider must always wear a safety helmet, eye
protection, gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting around the knee and ankle) and a
brightly coloured jacket. Brightly coloured clothing will considerably increase a rider's
visibility to other operators of road vehicles. Although full protection is not possible,
wearing correct protective clothing can reduce the risk of injury when riding.
