This motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic converter in the exhaust system.
The converter reacts with carbonmonoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides to convert them into carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen and oxygen resulting in much cleaner exhaust gases to be discharged into the atmosphere.
For proper operation of the catalytic converter, the following cautions must be observed.
| WARNING Operating or parking the vehicle near flammable materials can cause a fire, and can result in property damage or severe personal injury. Do not idle or park your vehicle in an area where tall or dry vegetation, or other flammable materials could come into contact with the muffler or exhaust pipe. The engine and exhaust system get extremely hot during normal operation and can cause serious burns. Never touch a hot engine, exhaust pipe, or muffler during operation or after stopping the engine. |
Under these conditions unburned air/fuel mixture flowing out of engine excessively accelerates reaction in the converter allowing the converter to overheat and become damaged when the engine is hot, or reduces converter performance when the engine is cold.

Front Wheel Rotation Sensor Signal Inspection
The front wheel rotation sensor sends the signal to the
ECU through the KIBS hydraulic unit (KIBS equipped
models). For other than KIBS equipped models, the
signal is sent directly to the ECU.
The ECU uses the wheel rotation sensor signal for KTRC
