PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
Safety is an obligation of the owner.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in the
safest and most efficient condition
possible. The most important points of
inspection, adjustment, and lubrication are
explained on the following pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart should
be simply considered as a general guide
under normal riding conditions. However,
depending on the weather, terrain,
geographical location, and individual use,
the maintenance intervals may need to be
shortened.
