•
Support the motorcycle using a hoist or a jack under the engine.
CAUTION
Do not jack up the motorcycle using the oil filter.
•
Use only genuine Honda replacement fasteners for the rear suspension.
•
Note the i nstallation direction of the bolts.
• A ny attempt to mount automobile tires on a motorcycle rim may cause the tire bead to separate from the rim with
enough explosive f orce to cause serious injury or death.
• The rear shock absorber contains nitrogen under high pressure. Do not allow fire or heat near the shock absorber. Use only nitro­
gen to pressurize the shock absorber. The use of an unstable gas can cause a tire or explosion resulting in serious energy.
• Before disposal of the shock absorber, release the nitrogen by pressing the valve core. Then remove the valve from the shock ab­
sorber.
• Inhaled asbestos fibers have been found to cause respiratory disease and cancer. Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake
assemblies. Use an OSHA -approved vacuum cleaner or alternate mothod approved by OSHA, designed to minimize the hazard
coused by airborne asbestos fibers.
