Service

A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work on the engine and
chassis is properly carried out as described in the Owner's Manual. Incorrect adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can
lead to damage and breakage of components.
Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can lead to considerably more rapid wear
of components such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension components. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or
replace parts before the next scheduled service.
It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated run-in times and service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a
much longer service life for your motorcycle.
