Attention Prolonged or repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. If exposed to used engine oil on a daily basis, make it a rule to wash your hands thoroughly with soap immediately after use. Keep away from children. Attention The brake fluid used in the brake system is corrosive. In the event of accidental contact with eyes or skin, wash the affected area with generous quantities of running water. Brake lining debris Never attempt to clean the brake assembly using compressed air or a dry brush. Coolant Engine coolant contains ethylene glycol, which may ignite under particular conditions, producing invisible flames. Although the flames from burning ethylene glycol are not visible, they are still capable of causing severe burns. Brake fluid Attention Avoid spilling brake fluid onto plastic, rubber or painted parts of the motorcycle to avoid the risk of damage. Protect these parts with a clean shop rag before servicing the motorcycle. Keep away from children. Attention Take care not to spill engine coolant on the exhaust system or engine parts. These parts may be hot and ignite the coolant, which will subsequently burn with invisible flames. Coolant (ethylene glycol) is an irritant and is poisonous when ingested. Keep away from children. Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The coolant will be scalding hot and is under high pressure. 16
