Owner´s Manual
• Be sure electrical equipment does not exceed the
motorcycle's electrical system capacity (page 79).
A blown fuse can cause a loss of lights or engine
power.
• Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your motorcycle.
This motorcycle was not designed for these
attachments, and their use can seriously impair your
motorcycle's handling.
Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any original
equipment or modify your motorcycle in any way that
would change its design or operation. Such changes
could seriously impair your motorcycle's handling,
stability and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
Removing or modifying your lights, mufflers, emission
control system or other equipment can also make your
motorcycle illegal.
Off-Road Safety
Learn to ride in an uncongested off-road area free of
obstacles before venturing onto unfamiliar terrain.
• Always obey local off-road riding laws and
regulations.
• Obtain permission to ride on private property. Avoid
posted areas and obey "NO Trespassing" signs.
• Ride with a friend on another motorcycle so that you
can assist each other in case of trouble.
• Familiarity with your motorcycle is critically important
should a problem occur far from help.
• Never ride beyond your ability and experience or
faster than conditions warrant.
• If you are not familiar with the terrain, ride cautiously.
Hidden rocks, holes, or ravines could spell disaster.
• Spark arresters and mufflers are required in most
off-road areas. Don't modify your exhaust system.
Remember that excessive noise bothers everyone
and creates a bad image for motorcycling.
