MAINTENANCE
Lifting The Motorcycle
WARNING
Care should be taken to be sure the motorcycle will not tip or fall while elevated or while on
the sidestand. Serious injury or death can occur if the motorcycle tips or falls.
Some procedures such as tire removal, and steering, fork, swingarm, or axle inspection
require lifting of the motorcycle to remove weight from the component being inspected.
The motorcycle can be elevated by placing a stable, flat platform jack or lift mechanism on
a firm flat surface and lifting under the engine crankcase. The platform should be a
minimum 12 inches square. DO NOT attempt to lift the motorcycle without proper
equipment or without properly securing the motorcycle so it cannot tip or fall when
elevated.

Road Test

Before returning the motorcycle to regular use, road test it in a safe area. Pay special
attention to the proper fit and operation of all serviced components.
Make any corrections or additional adjustments as necessary to ensure safe, reliable, and
enjoyable vehicle performance.
