Maintenance Safety
Always read the maintenance instructions before
you begin each task, and make sure that you
have the tools, parts, and skills required. We
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard
that can arise in performing maintenance. Only
you can decide whether or not you should
perform a given task.
Follow these guidelines when performing
maintenance.
Stop the engine and remove the key.
●
Place your motorcycle on a firm, level surface
●
using the side stand, centre stand or a
maintenance stand to provide support.
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
●
high-temperature parts to cool before
servicing as you can get burned.
Run the engine only when instructed, and do
●
so in a well-ventilated area.
