You & the Environment
Owning and riding a motorcycle can be 
enjoyable, but you must do your part to protect 
the environment.
Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash 
your motorcycle. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners 
that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which 
damage the atmosphere’s protective ozone 
layer.
Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved 
containers and take them to a recycling centre.
Call your local or state office of public works or 
environmental services to  find a recycling centre 
in your area, and to get instructions on how to 
dispose of non-recyclable wastes. Do not place 
used engine oil in the trash, or pour it down a  drain or on the ground. Used oil, petrol, 
coolant, and cleaning solvents contain poisons 
that can hurt refuse workers and contaminate 
drinking water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
Choose Sensible Cleaners
Recycle Wastes

identify your motorcycle and are required in 
order to register your motorcycle. They may also 
be required when ordering replacement parts.
The frame number is stamped on the right side 
of the steering head.
The engine number is stamped on the rear side 
of the right crankcase.
You should record these numbers and keep 
them in a safe place.
