FOREWORD - SAFETY FIRST
The Motorcycle
This motorcycle is designed for on-road
use only. It is not suitable for off-road use.
Off-road operation could lead to loss of
control of the motorcycle resulting in an
accident causing injury or loss of life.
This motorcycle is not designed to tow a
trailer or be fitted with a sidecar. Fitting a
sidecar and/or a trailer may result in loss of
control and an accident.
This motorcycle is designed for use as a
two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a
rider on his/her own, or a rider and one
passenger.
The total weight of the rider, and any
passenger, accessories and luggage must
not exceed the maximum load limit of
239 kg (526 lb).
This motorcycle is fitted with a catalytic
converter below the engine, which along
with the exhaust system reaches very high
temperature during engine operation.
Flammable materials such as grass,
hay/straw, leaves, clothing and luggage etc.
could ignite if allowed to come into contact
with any part of the exhaust system and
catalytic converter; always ensure
flammable materials are not allowed to
contact the exhaust system or catalytic
converter.
Use of a motorcycle with the bank angle
indicator worn beyond the maximum limit
(when 5 mm of the bank angle indicator
remains) will allow the motorcycle to be
banked to an unsafe angle.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
