Taking Care Of The Unexpected; General Guidelines - Honda CB600F 2004 Owner's Manual

Taking Care of the Unexpected

General Guidelines

Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained
is the best way to reduce the possibility of
having a problem on the road. However,
since problems can arise even with well-
maintained machines, you may consider
subscribing to an emergency roadside
service plan. (USA only: For information
about the Honda Rider's Club of America,
see page 217 .)
Remember to take along your owner's
manual, the tool kit that came with your
motorcycle, and any other items (such as
tire repair supplies and additional tools)
that might help you solve a problem on
your own.

Taking Care of the Unexpected
Should you ever have a problem while
riding, please follow these guidelines:
Always put personal safety first.
Take time to assess the situation and
your options before deciding what to do.
If the problem is relatively minor and
you have the tools, supplies, and skills
to make a temporary repair, be sure to
have permanent repairs made as soon as
possible.
Do not continue riding if you are hurt or
your motorcycle is not in safe riding
condition.
Additional recommendations for specific
problems follow.
