Maintenance Safety
Important Safety Precautions
• Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
This will help eliminate several potential hazards:
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure there is
adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
Burns from hot motorcycle parts. Let the engine and exhaust system cool
before touching.
Injury from moving parts. Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
• Read the i
nstructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools a
nd
skills required.
• To help prevent the motorcycle from falling over, park it o
n a firm, level
surface, using the center stand or a maintenance stand to provide support.
• To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline. Use only non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean
parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks,
and flames away from all fuel-related parts.
Remember that your Honda dealer knows your motorcycle best and is fully
equipped to maintain and repair it. To ensure the
best quality and reliability, use
only new Honda Genuine Parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
If you have the tools and skills required for additional maintenance jobs, you
can purchase an official
Honda Service Manual (page 230).
