General Guidelines - Honda GOLDWING GL1800/A 2015 Owner's Manual

Taking Care of the Unexpected

General Guidelines

Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is the best way to reduce the
possibility of having a problem on the road.
Remember to take along your owner's manual, the tool kit that came with your
motorcycle, and any other items (such as tire repair supplies and additional
tools) that might help you solve a problem on your own.
Should you ever have a problem while riding, please follow these guidelines:
• Always put personal safety first.
• Take time to assess the situation and your options before deciding what to do.
• If the problem is relatively minor and you have the tools, supplies, and skills
to make a temporary repair, be sure to have permanent repairs made as soon
as possible.
• Do not continue riding if you are hurt or your motorcycle is not in safe riding
condition.
Additional recommendations for specific problems follow.
