Importance of Maintenance
Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is
absolutely essential to your safety and to
protect your investment, obtain maximum
performance, avoid breakdowns, and reduce air
pollution. Maintenance is the owner’s
responsibility. Be sure to inspect your
motorcycle before each ride, perform the
periodic checks specified in the Maintenance
Schedule.

Always read the maintenance instructions
before you begin each task, and make sure that
you have the tools, parts, and skills required.
We cannot warn you of every conceivable
hazard that can arise in performing
maintenance. Only you can decide whether or
not you should perform a given task.
Follow these guidelines when performing
maintenance.
●
Stop the engine and remove the key.
●
Park your motorcycle on a firm, level surface
using the side stand or a maintenance stand
to provide support.
●
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before
servicing as you can get burned.
●
Run the engine only when instructed, and do
so in a well-ventilated area.
