Maintenance
Always read the maintenance instructions
before you begin each task, and make sure that
you have the tools, parts, and skills required.
We cannot warn you of every conceivable
hazard that can arise in performing
maintenance. Only you can decide whether or
not you should perform a given task.
Follow these guidelines when performing
maintenance.
●
Stop the engine and remove the key.
●
Park your motorcycle on a firm, level surface
using the side stand or a maintenance stand
to provide support.
●
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before
servicing as you can get burned.
●
Run the engine only when instructed, and do
so in a well-ventilated area.
