Maintenance Safety
Important Safety Precautions
• Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This
will help eliminate several potential hazards:
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure there is
adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
Burns from hot motorcycle parts. Let the engine and exhaust system cool
before touching.
Injury 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 center stand.
• To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline. Use only non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean
parts. 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 Honda Genuine Parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
If you have the tools and skills required for additional maintenance jobs, you
can purchase an official Honda Service Manual
