NOTICE
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.
NOTE
Have the engine checked regularly and keep it well tuned.
This applies particularly to a motorcycle equipped with windshield and fairing.
WARNINGWhen 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.
WARNINGContinuous use of brake causes overheating and reduced efficiency, which could result in death or serious injury. (00042a)
WARNINGDo not tow a disabled motorcycle. Towing can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00017a)
