MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

Astrea PRlvf/1.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL 1. Most motorcycle accident fatalities are due to head injuries: ALWAYS wear a helmet. You should also wear a face shield or goggles as well as boots, gloves and protective clothing. 2. The exhaust system becomes very hot during operation, and it remains hot after operation. Never touch any part of the hot exhaust system. Wear clothing that fully covers your legs. 3. Do not wear loose clothing which could catch on the control levers, kickstarter, footpegs or wheels.

MODIFICATIONS ^ W A R N IN G M odification o f the motorcycle, or removal o f original equipment may render the vehicle unsafe o r illegal. Obey a ll federal, state and local equipment regu­ lations.

LOADING AND ACCESSORIES WARNING *

A m otorcycle is sensitive to changes in w eight distribution. Im proper loading o f cargo and m ounting o f accessories can im pair the m otorcycle's stability and performance. To prevent an accident, use extreme care when m ounting acces­ sories and riding w ith cargo.

1. Keep cargo and accessory weight low and close to the center of the motor­ cycle. Load weight equally on both sides to minimize imbalance. As weight is located farther from the motorcycle's center of gravity, handling is pro­ portionally affected. 2. All cargo and accessories must be secure for stable handling. Re-check secu­ rity frequently. 3. Do not attach large or heavy items to the handlebars, front forks, or fender. Unstable handling or slow steering response may result.

WARNING *

M otorcycle riding requires special efforts on your p a rt to ensure your safety. Know these requirements before you ride.

SAFE RIDING RULES 1. Always make a pre-ride inspection before you start the engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage. 2. Many accidents involve inexperienced riders. Most states require a special motorcycle riding test or license. Make sure you are qualified before you ride. NEVER lend your motorcycle to an inexperienced rider. 3. Many automobile/motorcycle accidents happen because the automobile driver does not "see" the motorcyclist. Make yourself conspicuous to help avoid the accident that wasn't your fault: • Wear bright or reflective clothing. • Don't ride in another motorist's "blind spot." • Don't ride on the roadway shoulder. 4. Obey all national and local laws and regulations. • Excessive speed is a factor in many accidents. Obey the speed limits, and NEVER travel faster than conditions warrant. • Signal before you make a turn or lane change. Your size and maneuver­ ability can surprise other motorists. 5. Don't let other motorists surprise you. Use extra caution at intersections, parking lot entrances and exits, and drive-ways. 6. Keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footpegs while riding. 7. The luggage rack is primarily for light weight items. Make sure cargo is secure and will not shift while riding. See Loading and Accessories.

MAINTENANCE ENGINE OIL Engine Oil Recommendation USE PREMIUM QUALITY 4-STROKE ENGINE OIL. Use only high detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed US automobile manufacturers' requirements for Service Classification SE or SF. Motor oils intended for Service SE or SF will show this designation on the container. The use of special oil additives is unnecessary and will only increase operating expenses.

CAUTION: *

Engine oil is a major factor affecting the performance and service life o f the engine. Non-detergent, vegetable, o r castor based racing oils, are n o t recom­ mended. I

Recommended Oil Viscosity: SAE 20W-40 or SAE 20W-50 Other viscosities shown in the chart below may be used when the average temperature in your riding area is within the indicated range.

Engine Oil Level Check Check engine oil level each day before operating the motorcycle. The oil filler cap (1) is on the right crankcase cover and contains a dipstick for measuring oil level. Oil level must be maintained between the upper (2) and lower (3) level marks on the dipstick. 1. With the motorcycle standing upright on level ground, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean. 2. Reinsert the dipstick without screwing it in and check the oil level.

30

i II required, add the specified oil up to the upper level mark. Do not overfill. 4 Replace the filler cap/dipstick, and check for oil leaks.

CAUTION: Running the engine w ith insufficient o il can cause serious engine damage.

I NGINE OIL CHANGE 11 mine oil quality is the chief factor affecting engine service life. Change the engine oil when specified by the Maintenance Schedule. NOTE: Change engine oil with the engine warm and the motorcycle on its center stand or held upright to assure complete and rapid draining. I To drain the oil, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and drain plug (1). After the oil has completely drained, make sure that the sealing washer is in good condition and reinstall the drain plug. i Fill the crankcase through the oil filler opening with approximately 0.8 I of the recommended grade oil. 4 Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick. I) Start the engine and allow it to idle for a few minutes. tl Stop the engine. / Make sure that the oil level is at the upper level mark with the motorcycle in an upright position, and that there are no oil leaks. —*• FRONT (1)

MAINTENANCE SPARK PLUG Recommended plugs: Standard: NGK: C7HSA, ND: U22FS-U For most riding conditions this spark plug heat range number is satisfactory. However, if the motorcycle is going to be operated for extended periods at high speeds or near maximum power in hot climates, the spark plug should be changed to a colder heat range number. 1. Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base. 2. Disconnect the spark plug cap and remove the spark plug with the wrench provided in the tool bag. 3. Visually inspect the spark plug electrodes for wear. The center electrode should have square edges and the side electrode should not be eroded. Dis­ card the spark plug if there is apparent wear or if the insulator is cracked or chipped.4. Make sure that the spark plug gap (1) is 0 .6 -0 .7 mm using a wire-type feeler gauge. If adjustment is necessary, bend the side electrode (2) carefully. Make sure the plug washer is in good condition. 5. With the plug washer attached, thread the spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading. 6. Tighten a new spark plug 1/2 turn with a spark plug wrench to compress the washer. If you are reusing a plug, it should only take 1 /8 —1/4 turn after the plug seats.

DRIVE CHAIN The service life of the drive chain is dependent upon proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor maintenance can cause premature wear or damage to the drive chain and sprockets. The drive chain should be checked and lubricated as part of the Pre-ride Inspection. Under severe usage, or when the motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty areas, more frequent maintenance will be necessary.

Inspection: • Turn the engine off, place the motorcycle on its center stand and shift the transmission into neutral. • Remove the inspection hole cap (1) on the lower chain case. • Drive chain slack should be adjusted to allow approximately 10—20 mm ver­ tical movement by hand.
