Make sure the engine is off before you
begin any maintenance or repairs. This
will help eliminate several potential
hazards:
Be sure there is adequate ventilation
whenever you operate the engine.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool
before touching.
Do not run the engine unless instructed
to do so.
Read the instructions before you begin,
and make sure you have the tools and
skills required.
To reduce the possibility of a fire or
explosion, be careful when working
around petrol or batteries. Use only
nonflammable solvent, not petrol, to clean
parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames
away from the battery and all fuel-related
parts.
Remember that your Honda dealer knows
your motorcycle best and is fully equipped
to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability,
use only new Honda Genuine Parts or their
equivalents for repair and replacement.
To help prevent the motorcycle from
falling over, park it on a firm, level
surface, using the center stand or a
maintenance stand to provide support.
