Owning and riding a motorcycle can be enjoyable,
but you must do your part to protect nature. When
you show respect for the land, wildlife, and other
people, you also help preserve the sport of off-road
riding.
Following are tips on how you can be an
environmentally responsible motorcycle owner.
• Choose Sensible Cleaners. Use a
biodegradable detergent when you wash your
CRF. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that contain
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which damage the
atmosphere's protective ozone layer. Don't
throw cleaning solvents away; see the following
guidelines for proper disposal.
• Recycle Wastes. It's illegal and thoughtless to
put used engine oil in the trash, down a drain, or
on the ground. Used oil, petrol, coolant, and
cleaning solvents contain poisons that can hurt
refuse workers and contaminate our drinking
water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
Before changing your oil, make sure you have
the proper containers. Put oil and other toxic
wastes in separate sealed containers and take
them to a recycling centre. Call your local of
public works or environmental services to find a
recycling centre in your area and get instructions
on how to dispose of non recyclable wastes.
