Important Safety Precautions
Maintenance Safety
Servicing Your Honda
Carbon monoxide poisoning from
engine exhaust.
Burns from hot motorcycle parts.
Injury from moving parts.
Read the instructions before you begin,
and make sure you have the tools and
skills required.
To help prevent the motorcycle from
falling over, park it on a firm, level
surface, using the side stand or a
maintenance stand to provide support.
To reduce the possibility of a fire or
explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline. Use only
non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to
clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and
flames away from all fuel-related parts.
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.
