Motorcycle Safety
Unlike standard motorcycles, or its manual
transmission sibling, the GL1800BD/D/DA
with dual clutch transmission does not have
a clutch lever that would provide you with
an additional means to control the engine
power being transmitted to the rear wheel.
Thus, in the unlikely event that you
experience a stuck throttle or other
unintended application of power to the
rear wheel, you should shut down the
engine by use of the engine stop switch
(
2 P. 52).
By moving this switch to the (Stop)
position, you will immediately stop the
engine but maintain all electrical system
functions, including lights and indicators.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause loss
of consciousness and may lead to death.
If you run the engine in confined or even
partly enclosed area, the air you breathe
could contain a dangerous amount of
carbon monoxide.
Never run your motorcycle inside a garage
or other enclosure.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard
WARNINGWARNING
Running the engine of your
motorcycle while in an enclosed or
even partially enclosed area can
cause a rapid build-up of toxic
carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas
can quickly cause unconsciousness
and lead to death.
Only run your motorcycle's engine
when it is located in a well
ventilated area outdoors.
