INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
It is the responsibility of the owner/rider to ensure the
motorcycle is maintained and kept in a good and safe
condition and serviced according to the Service
Schedule. Record the services in your Warranty and
Service Booklet. Please note that the service schedule
is set by either time or distance travelled, whichever
comes first. The schedule allows for normal usage, but
if abnormal conditions are encountered such as dusty
or very wet conditions, hard usage or extreme land
form conditions, the service schedule should be more
frequent. Ask advice from your dealer.
If your motorcycle is used in extreme conditions such
as in sandy conditions, special maintenance will be
required. The air filter should be changed more
frequently. The drive chain will wear sooner.
If driven on winter roads where salt has been spread,
extra maintenance and preparation will be required.
Salt is very corrosive, even in powder form, when
roads have dried after icy conditions. Bright parts
should be protected before your journey with corrosion
inhibitor such as Scottoiler 365, then washed off as
soon as possible after your journey with cold water. Re
apply the corrosion inhibitor immediately after washing.
Do not store your motorcycle under a cover if it has
road salt on it. It will corrode!
Scheduled maintenance is necessary to keep your
motorcycle running in a safe, reliable and
economical condition.
You must keep to the Service Schedule shown in
the AJS Warranty & Service Booklet, supplied with
your new machine, and carry out maintenance
according to the AJS Maintenance Operation Sheets
to keep your warranty valid.

Periodic maintenance may require some parts to
be replaced. Always use genuine original AJS
parts.
Some maintenance tasks are usually carried out
by the owner/rider.
