Important The pillion passenger should always hold on to the grab handles on the frame under the seat with both hands. Important Visually inspect the tires at regular intervals for cracks and cuts, especially on sidewalls, bulges or large spots which are indicative of internal damage. Replace them if badly damaged. Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in the tread. Important Be very careful when maneuvering intersections or when riding in areas near exits from private grounds, parking lots or access roads to highways. Attention The engine, exhaust pipes and silencers remain hot for a long time 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.). Important Be sure you are clearly visible and do not ride in the blind spot of the vehicles ahead. Important ALWAYS signal your intention to turn or pull over to the next lane with due warning using the turn indicators. Attention When you leave the motorcycle unattended, always remove the ignition key and make sure it is inaccessible to anyone unsuitable to ride the motorcycle. Important Park your motorcycle where no one is likely to hit it, and use the side stand. Never park on uneven or soft ground or your motorcycle may fall over. 13
