Importance of Maintenance
Keeping your vehicle well-maintained is
absolutely essential to your safety and to protect
your investment, obtain maximum performance,
avoid breakdowns, and reduce air pollution.
Maintenance is the owner's responsibility. Be
sure to inspect your vehicle before each ride
and perform the periodic checks specified in the
Maintenance Schedule. 2 P. 32
3WARNING
Improperly maintaining your vehicle or
failing to correct a problem before you
ride can cause a crash in which you can
be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner's manual and
competition handbook.
Maintenance Safety
Always read the maintenance instructions
before you begin each task and make sure that
you have the tools, parts, and skills required.
We cannot warn you of every conceivable
hazard that can arise in performing
maintenance. Only you can decide whether or
not you should perform a given task.
Follow these guidelines when performing
maintenance.
●
Stop the engine.
●
Place your vehicle on a firm, level surface
using an optional workstand or a
maintenance stand to provide support.
●
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before
servicing as you can get burned.
●
Run the engine only when instructed, and
do so in a well-ventilated area.
