Tips 151
You & the Environment
Owning and riding a motorcycle can be
enjoyable, but you must do your part to protect
nature. When you show respect for the land,
wildlife, and other people, you also help preserve
the sport of off-road riding.
Following are tips on how you can be an
environmentally responsible motorcycle owner.
• Choose Sensible Cleaners. Use a
biodegradable detergent when you wash
your CRF. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that
contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which
damage the atmosphere’s protective ozone
layer. Don’t throw cleaning solvents away; see
the following guidelines for proper disposal.
• Recycle Wastes. It’s illegal and thoughtless to
put used engine oil in the trash, down a drain,
or on the ground. Used oil, gasoline, and
cleaning solvents contain poisons that can hurt
refuse workers and contaminate our drinking
water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
Before changing your oil, make sure you have
the proper containers. Put oil and other toxic
wastes in separate sealed containers and take
them to a recycling center. Call your local or
state office of public works or environmental
services to find a recycling center in your area
and get instructions on how to dispose of
non-recyclable wastes.
NOTICE
Improper disposal of drained fluids is harmful to
the environment.
