Catalytic converter

If misfiring causes unburned fuel

to enter the catalytic converter,

there is a danger of overheating

and damage.

For this reason, observe the fol-

lowing points:

Do not run the fuel tank dry.

Do not attempt to start or run

the engine with a spark-plug

cap disconnected.

Stop the engine immediately if

it misfires.

Use only unleaded fuel.

Comply with all specified main-

tenance intervals.

Unburned fuel will destroy

the catalytic converter.

Note the points listed for protec-

tion of the catalytic converter.

Risk of fire

Temperatures at the exhaust are

high.

Flammable materials (e.g.

hay, leaves, grass, clothing

and luggage, etc.) could ignite

if allowed to come into contact

with the hot exhaust pipe.

Do not permit flammable materi-

als to come into contact with the

hot exhaust system.

Cooling would be

inadequate if the engine

were allowed to idle for a lengthy

period with the motorcycle at

a standstill: overheating would

result. In extreme cases, the

motorcycle could catch fire.

Do not allow the engine to idle

unnecessarily. Ride away imme-

diately after starting the engine.

Tampering with the

engine control unit

Tampering with the engine

control unit can damage

the motorcycle and cause acci-

dents.

Do not tamper with the engine

control unit.

Tampering with the engine

control unit can result in

mechanical loads that the mo-

torcycle's components are not

designed to withstand. Damage

caused in this way is not covered

by the warranty.

Do not tamper with the engine

control unit.

Checklist

Use the following checklist to

check important functions, set-

tings and wear limits before you

ride off.
