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.
