engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation
whenever you operate the engine.
∗∗∗∗∗
Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool
before touching.
∗∗∗∗∗
Injur y from moving parts.
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 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
petrol. Use only nonflammable solvent, not
petrol, to clean par ts. Keep cigarettes,
sparks and flames away from 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 genuine Honda par ts or their
equivalents for repair and replacement.
