is equipped
with the side stand ignition interlock
system.
If the transmission is in neutral or side
stand up, you can only start the engine
by pulling in the clutch lever.
This side stand ignition interlock system
prevents the motorcycle from being
started with side stand down.
Make sure that the side stand ignition
interlock system is working properly
before riding.
●●Do not run the engine indoors or
where there is little or no ventilation.
Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, a potentially lethal gas that
is colorless and odorless.
●●Never leave the motorcycle running
while unattended, even for a short
time.
The head lamp, position lamp, meter
lamp, tail lamp and license plate lamp on
this motorcycle always comes on when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position.
While operating
, the rider should keep both
feet on the footrests at all times, to avoid
injuries resulting from accidents.
Moving the rider’s feet from the
footrests reduces the rider’s ability to
control the motorcycle and could lead to
an accident.
Keep both hands on the handgrips at all
times when riding. Removing your
hands from the handgrips reduces your
ability to control the motorcycle, and
could result in an accident.
Always open the throttle gradually to
prevent front wheel lifting. Failure to
observe this precaution may result in
loss of control and an accident.
WHEN STORING FOR LONG PERIOD :
1. Fully fill the tank with fuel.
2. Remove the battery from the motorcy-
cle.

⊙⊙WEAR A HELMET
⊙⊙RIDING APPAREL
⊙⊙INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING
⊙⊙FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH
THE MOTORCYCLE
⊙⊙KNOW YOUR LIMITS
⊙⊙BE EXTRA SAFETY CONSCIOUS
ON BAD WEATHER DAYS
Motorcycle safety equipment starts with
a quality safety helmet. One of the most
serious injuries that can happen is a
head injury. ALWAYS wear a properly
approved helmet. You should also wear
a suitable eye protection.
Loose clothing can be uncomfortable
and unsafe when riding a motorcycle.
Use good quality motorcycle riding
apparel when riding your motorcycle.
Review thoroughly the instructions in
the “INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING”
section of this manual. Do not forget to
perform an entire safety inspection to
ensure the safety of the rider and its
passenger.
Your riding skill and mechanical knowl-
edge from the foundation for safe riding
practices.
We suggest that you practice riding
your motorcycle in a non-traffic situation
until you are thoroughly familiar with
your machine and its controls.
Remember practice makes perfect.
Ride within the boundaries of your own
skill at all times. Knowing these limits
and staying within them will help you to
avoid accidents.
Riding on bad weather days, especially
wet ones, requires extra caution.
Braking distances double on a rainy
day. Stay off of the painted surface
marks, manhole covers and greasy
appearing areas as they can be espe-
cially slippery.
Use extreme caution at railway cross-
ings and on metal gratings and bridges.
Whenever you have a doubt about road
condition, slow down!

There are a great variety of accessories
available to Hyosung owners. Hyosung
can not have direct control over the quality
or suitability of accessories you may wish to
purchase except genuine parts.
The addition of unsuitable accessories
can lead to unsafe operating conditions. It
is not possible for Hyosung to test each
accessory on the market or combinations
of all the available accessories, however,
your dealer can assist you in selecting qual-
ity accessories and installing them correct-
ly.
Use extreme caution when selecting and
installing the accessories for your
Hyosung. We have developed some gen-
eral guidelines which will aid you when
deciding whether, and how to equip your
motorcycle.
1. In case that additional weight or aero-
dynamic affecting accessories are
installed, they should be mounted as
low as possible, as close to the motor-
cycle and as near the center of gravity
as is feasible. The mounting brackets
and other attachment hardware should
be carefully checked to ensure that it
provides for a rigid, nonmovable
mount. Weak mounts can allow the
shifting of the weight and create a dan-
gerous, unstable condition.
2. Inspect for proper ground clearance
and bank angle. An improperly mount-
ed load could critically reduce these
two safety factors. Also determine that
the “load” does not interfere with the
operation of the suspension, steering
or other control operations.
3. Accessories fitted to the handlebars or
the front fork area can create serious
stability problems. This extra weight will
cause the motorcycle to be less
responsive to your steering control.
The weight may also cause oscillations
in the front end and lead to instability
problems. Accessories added to the
machine should be as light as possible
and kept to a minimum.
4. The motorcycle may be affected by a
lifting condition or by an instability in
cross winds or when being passed or
passing large vehicles. Improperly
mounted or poorly designed acces-
sories can result in an unsafe riding
condition, therefore caution should be
used when selecting and installing all
accessories.
5. Certain accessories displace the rider
from his or her normal riding position.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND
PRECAUTION SAFETY TIPS
Improper accessories or modifica-
tions can make your motorcycle
unsafe and can lead to an accident.
Never modify the motorcycle with
improper or poorly installed acces-
sories. Follow all instructions in this
owner’s manual regarding acces-
sories and modifications. Use gen-
uine Hyosung accessories or equiva-
lent designed and tested for your
motorcycle. Consult your Hyosung
dealer if you have any questions.

10
Modification of the motorcycle, or removal of
original equipment may render the vehicle
unsafe or illegal.
Obey all applicable equipment regulations in
your area.
This limits the freedom of movement of
the rider and may limit his or her control
ability.
6. Additional electrical accessories may
damage the existing electrical system.
Severe overloads may damage the
wiring harness or create a dangerous
situation due to the loss of electrical
power during the operation of the
motorcycle.
When carrying a load on the motorcycle,
mount it as low as possible and as close as
possible to the machine. An improperly
mounted load can create a high center of
gravity which is very dangerous and makes
the motorcycle difficult to handle. The size
of the “load” can also affect the aerodynam-
ics and handling of the motorcycle.
Balance the load between the left and
right side of the motorcycle and fasten it
securely.
