secon4 SAFETY INFORMATION
Be a Responsible Owner
‘As the vehicle's owner, you are re-
‘sponsible for the safe and proper oper-
ation of your motorcycle.
Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.
Their safe use and operation are de-
Pendent upon the use of proper riding
techniques as weil as the expertise of
the operator. Every operator should
know the following requirements be-
fore riding this motorcycle.
He or she should:
© Obtain thorough instructions from
a competent source on all aspects
of motorcycle operation.
(© Observe the wamings and mainte-
nance requirements in this Own-
ers Manual.
© Obtain quaified training in safe
and proper riding techniques.
© Octain professional technical ser-
vice as indicated in this Owner's
Manual and/or when made neces-
‘sary by mechanical conditions.
@ Never operate a motorcycle with-
out proper training or instruction.
Take a training course. Beginners
should receive training from a cer-
tified instructor. Contact an autho-
rized motorcycle dealer to find out
about the training courses nearest
you.
Perform the re-operation checks
each time you use the vehicle to make
sure it is in safe operating condition.
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehi-
cle property increases the possibility of
an accident or equipment damage.
See page 4-1 for a list of pre-operation
checks.
© This motorcycle is designed to
carry the operator and a passen-
ger.
© The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize motorcycles in traf-
fic is the predominating cause of
automobile/motorcycle accidents.
Many accidents have been
caused by an automobile driver
who did not see the motorcycle.
Making yourself conspicuous ap-
ry
pears to be very effective in reduc-
ing the chance of this type of
accident.
Therefore:
* Wear a brightly colored jacket.
* Use extra caution when you are
approaching and passing
through intersections, since in-
tersections are the most likely
places for motorcycle accidents
to occur.
‘+ Ride where other motorists can
‘see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.
* Never maintain a motorcycle
without proper knowledge.
Contact an authorized motorcy-
cle dealer to inform you on ba-
sic motorcycle maintenance.
Certain maintenance can only
be carried out by certified staf.> Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many op-
erators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a cur-
rent motorcycle license,
* Make sure that you are qualified
and that you only lend your mo-
torcycle to other qualified oper-
ators.
* Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
* We recommend that you prac-
tice riding your motorcycle
where there is no traffic until you
have become thoroughly famil-
iar with the motorcycle and all of
its controls.
) Many accidents have been
caused by error of the motorcycle
‘operator. A typical error made by
the operator is veering wide on a
tum due to excessive speed or un-
dercomering (insufficient lean an-
gle for the speed).
* Always obey the speed limit and
never travel faster than warrant-
ed by road and traffic condi-
tions.
4\ SAFETY INFORMATION
* Always signal before turing or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
* The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the operator foot-
rests during operation to main-
tain control of the motorcycle.
* The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
‘strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger footrests.
Never carry a passenger unless
he or she can firmly place both
feet on the passenger footrests.
Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
This motorcycle is designed for
‘on-road use only. It is not suitable
for off-road use.

Protective Apparel
The majority of fatalities from motorcy-
cle accidents are the result of head in-
juries. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the pre-
vention or reduction of head injuries.
© Always wear an approved helmet.
© Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impairment
of vision that could delay seeing a
hazard.
© The use of a jacket, heavy boots,
trousers, gloves, etc., is effective
in preventing or reducing abra-
sions or lacerations.
‘© Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the
control levers, footrests, or wheels
and cause injury or an accident.
‘© Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and
feet. The engine or exhaust sys-
tem become very hot during or af-
ter operation and can cause
bums.
© A passenger should also observe
the above precautions.2\ SAFETY INFORMATION
‘Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause head-
aches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,
confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-
less, tasteless gas which may be pres-
ent even if you do not see or smell any
‘engine exhaust. Deadly levels of car-
bon monoxide can collect rapidly and
you can quickly be overcome and un-
able to save yourself. Also, deadly lev-
els of carbon monoxide can linger for
hours or days in enclosed or poorly
ventilated areas. if you experience any
symptoms of carbon monoxide poi-
soning, leave the area immediately, get
fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-
MENT.
© Donot run engine indoors. Even if
you try to ventilate engine exhaust
with fans or open windows and
doors, carbon monoxide can rap-
idly reach dangerous levels.
© Do not run engine in poorly venti-
lated or partially enclosed areas
such as bams, garages, or car-
Ports.
© Donotrun engine outdoors where When loading within this weight limit,
engine exhaust can be drawn into keep the following in mind:
a building through openings such
as windows and doors.
Loading
‘Adding accessories or cargo to your
motorcycle can adversely affect stabil-
ity and handling if the weight distribu-
tion of the motorcycle is changed. To
avoid the possibilty ofan accident, use
extreme caution when adding cargo or
accessories to your motorcycle. Use
extra care when riding a motorcycle
that has added cargo or accessories.
Here, along with the information about
accessories below, are some general
guidelines to follow if loading cargo to
your motorcycle:
The total weight of the operator, pas-
‘senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
Maximum load:
198 kg (437 Ib)
1a
© Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close to
the motorcycle as possible. Se |
curely pack your heaviest items at
close to the center of the vehicle ;
as possible and make sure to dis-
tribute the weight as evenly as
possible on both sides of the mo-
torcycle to minimize imbalance or
instability.
© Shifting weights can create a sud- |
den imbalance. Make sure that |
accessories and cargo are se- |
curely attached to the motorcycle !
before riding. Check accessory
mounts and cargo restraints fre-
quently.
* Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-ad-
justable models only), and
check the condition and pres}
sure of your tires.
* Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front |
fork, or front fender. Thes? j

Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
Put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
(0-500 km (0-300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4500
timin,
After every hour of operation, stop the
engine, and then let it cool for five to
ten minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at one
set throttle position.
500-1000 km (300-600 mi)
‘Avoid prolonged operation above 6
min.
Rev the engine freely through the
gears, but do not use full throttle at any
time. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600 mi)
of operation, the engine oil must be
changed, the oil filter cartridge or el-
‘ment replaced, and the oil strainer
