Before performing any service or maintenance
procedures, always remove key from ignition
switch, remove spark plug wire from spark plug and
secure spark plug wire away from spark plug.
Before removing fuel tank from rear engine rider, move

holding the fuel tank in your hands, carefully remove the
fuel filler cap and pour remaining fuel in an approved
container.
