Safety
First
A
WARNING: Always turn off
the engine and remove the
ignition key before leaving the
motorcycle unattended. By removing
the key, the risk of use of the
motorcycle by unauthorised or
untrained persons is reduced.
When parking the motorcycle, always
remember the
following:-
The engine and exhaust system will
be hot after riding. DO NOT park
where pedestrians, animals and/or
children are likely to touch the
motorcycle.
Do not park on soft ground or on a
steeply inclined surface. Parking
under these conditions may cause the
motorcycle to fall over.
For further details, please refer to the
‘How to Ride the Motorcycle’ section
of this owner’s handbook.
A
WARNING: Footrests
provided must always be
used by rider and passenger during
operation of the vehicle.
By using the footrests, both rider and
passenger will reduce the risk of
inadvertent contact
with
any
motorcycle components and will also
reduce the risk of injury from
entrapment of clothing.
A
WARNING:
Never ride the
motorcycle when fatigued or
under the influence of alcohol or
other drugs.
Riding when fatigued or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
reduces the rider’s ability to maintain
control of motorcycle and may lead to
loss of control and an accident.
Riding when under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs is illegal.
