Warning

Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Always make

sure you have your licence with you when riding; you need a

valid licence to be entitled to ride your motorcycle.

Do not lend your motorcycle to inexperienced riders or who

do not hold a valid licence.

Both rider and pillion passenger must always wear a safety

helmet.

Wear proper clothing, with no loose items or accessories

that may become tangled in the controls or limit yourzone of

vision.

Never start or run the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are

poisonous and may lead to loss of consciousness or even

death within a short time.

Both rider and pillion passengershould keeptheir feet on the

footpegs when the motorcycle is in motion.

Always hold the handlebar firmly with both hands so you will

be ready for sudden changes of direction or in the road

surface. The pillion passenger should always hold on to the

suitable handgrips under the seat with both hands.

Ride within the law and observe national and local rules.

Always respect speed limits where these are posted.

However,alwaysadjustyourspeed tothe visibility,road and

traffic conditions you are riding in.

Always signal your intention to turn or pull to the next lane

in good time using the suitable turn indicators.

Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride within the blind

spot of vehicles ahead.

Be very careful when tackling road junctions, or when riding

in the areas near exits from private grounds, car parks or on

slip roads to access motorways.

Always turn off the engine when refuelling.

Be extremely careful not to spill fuel on the engine or on the

exhaust pipe when refuelling.

Do not smoke when refuelling.

While refuelling, you may inhale noxious fuel vapours.

Should any fuel drops be spilled on your skin or clothing,

immediately wash with soap and water and change your

clothing.

Always remove the key when you leave your motorcycle

unattended.

The engine, exhaust pipes, and mufflers stay hot for a long

time.

Warning

The exhaust system might be hot, even after engine is

switched off; pay particular attention not to touch exhaust

system with any body part and do not park the vehicle next

to inflammable material (wood, leaves etc.).

the side stand.
