EXHAUST SYSTEM
Check the exhaust system for wear or damage at approximately 2000 miles
(3200 km). Always allow the engine and exhaust system to cool completely
before inspecting.
Hot exhaust system parts can cause burns. Allow adequate time for the
exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the engine running.
1. Open the side panels and remove the hood.
2. Inspect the muffler and pipes for cracks or damage.
3. Check for weak or missing retaining springs or damper/support grommets.
4. Check for loose clamps on the pipe covers.
5. Reinstall the hood and side panels.
DRIVE CHAIN TENSION
Check drive chain tension weekly and before each long trip.
1. Remove the side panels.
2. Rotate the driven clutch counter-clockwise to move all chain slack to the
tensioner side. Lock the brake lever lock, or have an assistant hold the brake
lever firmly.
3. Loosen the adjuster bolt jam nut
