disengaged or transmission in neutral. Running an engine
at high RPM can result in engine damage. (00177a)
Do not exceed the maximum safe RPM specified below
under any conditions. Exceeding the maximum safe
engine RPM can result in equipment damage. (00248a)
The maximum recommended safe engine speed is 5500 rpm.
Do not idle engine unnecessarily for more than a few minutes with motorcycle standing still.
Air cooled engines require air movement over the
cylinders and heads to maintain proper operating
temperature. Extended periods of idling or parade duty can
overheat the engine, resulting in serious engine damage.
(00178a)
An engine running long distances at high speed must be given closer than ordinary attention to
avoid overheating and possible engine damage.
This applies particularly to a motorcycle equipped with windshield and fairing.
NOTE:
Have the engine checked regularly and keep it well tuned.
When riding on wet roads, brake efficiency and traction are
greatly reduced. Failure to use care when braking,
accelerating or turning on wet roads can cause loss of
control, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00041a)
NOTE:
When descending upon a long, steep grade, downshift and use engine compression together with
intermittent application of both brakes to slow the motorcycle.
Continuous use of brake causes overheating and reduced
efficiency, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00042a)
Do not tow a disabled motorcycle. Towing can adversely
affect stability and handling, which could result in death or
serious injury. (00017a)
