A NOTE provides key information to make procedures easier or clearer.

CAUTION:
A CAUTION indicates special procedures that must be followed to avoid damage to the motorcycle.

WARNING:
A WARNING indicates special procedures that must be followed to avoid injury to a motorcycle operator or person inspecting or repairing the motorcycle.
