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 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 side stand
or a maintenance stand to provide support.
To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be

careful when working around petrol or batteries.
Use only nonflammable solvent, not petrol, to clean
parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames away from
the battery and 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.
