The Importance Of Maintenance - Honda 2009 GOLDWING GL1800 Owner's Manual

The Importance of Maintenance

Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is absolutely essential to your safety.
It's also a good way to protect your investment, get maximum performance,
avoid breakdowns, and have more fun. A properly maintained motorcycle will
also help to reduce air pollution.
Remember, proper maintenance is the owner's responsibility. Be sure to inspect
your motorcycle before each ride, perform the periodic checks, and follow the
Maintenance Schedule in this section.
If your motorcycle overturns or is involved in a crash, be sure your Honda
dealer inspects all major parts, even if you are able to make some of the repairs
yourself.
