Hot engine and exhaust components can cause burns to skin and
can ignite a fire if exposed to flammable materials. Always park the
motorcycle clear of flammable materials and where people are not likely
to contact hot components.

Allow the vehicle to cool before performing any maintenance
on the cooling system. Failure to do so could result in burns to skin.

exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness or
death in a short time.

During some procedures you may use potentially hazardous products
such as coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Always follow the instructions
and warnings on the product packaging.
