To keep your motorcycle safe and reliable when you ride, regular inspections and service is required.
Below you will find a maintenance schedule that describes when components need to be inspected or
serviced. The maintenance schedule lists item that can be performed with basic mechanical skills and
hand tools. In addition, the maintenance schedule will list items that involve more extensive
procedures and could require special training, tools and/or equipment.
Because this motorcycle does not have an odometer, service intervals in the maintenance schedule are
expressed in terms of riding days. To avoid missing required maintenance, we suggest that you
develop a good way to record the amount of time you spend riding your motorcycle. If you do not feel
capable of preforming any of the procedures described in this manual or if you need assistance, please
contact your nearest authorized dealer. If you decide to do your own maintenance, use only replacement
parts that you have purchased from a Monster Moto dealer or parts purchased directly from Monster
Moto. This will ensure the best quality and reliability for your motorcycle.
Always perform the pre-ride inspection described on page 14 at each scheduled maintenance interval.
Each item on the maintenance schedule requires some mechanical knowledge. You will find that some
items in the table (marked * and **) may require a higher level of mechanical skill and special tools. If
you do not feel capable of preforming any procedure, please consult your nearest Monster Moto
dealer.
* Indicates items that require a moderate to high level of mechanical skill. We recommend
service by an Monster Moto dealer if the owner is not mechanically qualified.
** Indicates items and procedures that require special tools.
Maintenance Procedures:
I = Inspect (clean, adjust or replace if needed), C = Clean, A = Adjust, L

Note: Service your motorcycle more frequently when you ride in wet or dusty conditions.
