Importance of Maintenance
Keeping your vehicle well-maintained is
absolutely essential to your safety and to
protect your investment, obtain maximum
performance, avoid breakdowns, and
reduce air pollution. Maintenance is the

your vehicle before each ride, and perform
the periodic checks specified in the

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.

using the side stand, centre stand

● Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and
other high-temperature parts to cool
