reference. Consulting the ex-
tensive index at the end of this
Rider's Manual is the fastest
way to find information on a
particular topic or item. To first
read an overview of your mo-
torcycle, please go to Chapter

pair work on the motorcycle

This record of the maintenance
work you have had performed
on your vehicle is a precondi-
tion for generous treatment of
goodwill claims.
When the time comes to sell

ber to hand over this Rider's
