PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

Periodic inspection, adjustment, and lu-
brication will keep your vehicle in the
safest and most efficient condition pos-

cle owner/operator. The most important

ment, and lubrication are explained on

the following pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart

eral guide under normal riding condi-
5
tions. However, depending on the
weather, terrain, geographical location,

and individual use, the maintenance in-
tervals may need to be shortened.
