•
Never refuel while smoking or in

consciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
motorcycle in an area that has ad-
equate ventilation.
●
Always turn the engine off before
leaving the motorcycle unattended
and remove the key from the main

flame), otherwise it could catch
fire.
●
When transporting the motorcycle
in another vehicle, make sure that
it is kept upright and that the fuel
cock is turned to “ON” or “RES” (for
vacuum type) / “OFF” (for manual
type). If it should lean over, gaso-
line may leak out of the carburetor
or fuel tank.
●
If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If any gasoline spills on your skin
or clothing, immediately wash the
affected area with soap and water
