Chapter 11
(Maintenance of Motorcycle)
Maintenance Schedule
Summary
The following schedule is broken into two columns to indicate the
type of usage and operating environment to which the machine
will be subject. The "
Normal Duty
" category includes operation in
dusty, hot climates, while pulling loads on hilly terrain for
significant periods of time in the maintenance cycle, operation
primarily with the sidecar accessory attached or for owners who
want to take extra care to keep their machines in "tip top"
condition. This is the schedule presented in the rest of this
booklet.
The "
Light Duty"
schedule is the minimal maintenance that an
owner should perform to keep the factory warranty in place. It is
acceptable when the machine is used primarily in ideal climates
with very little dust or contamination of fuel supply and with
sidecar accessory unattached.
