Note the points listed for protec-

tion of the catalytic converter.

Risk of overheating

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

Tampering with motor-

cycle settings (e.g. elec-

tronic engine management unit,

throttle valves, clutch) can cause

damages to the components in

question and lead to failure of

safety-relevant functions. Dam-

age caused in this way is not

covered by the warranty.

Do not tamper with the motor-

cycle in any way that could result

in tuned performance.

Checklist

Use the following checklist to

check important functions, set-

tings and wear limits before you

ride off.

Brakes

Brake-fluid levels, front and rear

Clutch

Clutch fluid level

Damping-characteristic setting

and spring preload

Tyre-tread depth and tyre

pressures

Cases correctly installed and

luggage secured

At regular intervals:

Engine oil level (every refuelling

stop)

Brake-pad wear (every third

refuelling stop)

Starting

Side stand

You cannot start the motorcycle

with the side stand extended and

a gear engaged. The engine will

switch itself off if you start it with

the gearbox in neutral and then

engage a gear before retracting

the side stand.

Gearbox

You can start the engine when

the gearbox is in neutral or if you

pull the clutch with a gear en-

gaged. Do not pull the clutch un-

til after you have switched on the

ignition, as otherwise the engine

will refuse to start.
