HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

This service manual describes the service procedures for the GL1800/
GL1800A.
Follow the Maintenance Schedule (Section 3) recommendations to
ensure that the vehicle is in peak operating condition and emission levels
are within the standards set by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB).
Performing the first scheduled maintenance is very important. It
compensates for the initial wear that occurs during the break-in period.
Sections 1 and 3 apply to the whole motorcycle. Section 2 illustrates
procedures for removal/installation of components that may be required
to perform service described in the following sections.
Sections 4 through 22 describe parts of the motorcycle, grouped
according to location.
Find the section you want on this page, then turn to the table of contents
on the first page of the section.
Most sections start with an assembly or system illustration, service
information and troubleshooting for the section. The subsequent pages
give detailed procedures.
If you don't know the source of the trouble, go to Section 24,
Troubleshooting.
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. To help you
make informed decisions we have provided safety messages and
other information throughout this manual. Of course, it is not
practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards associated
with servicing this vehicle. You must use your own good judgement.
