Maintenance Safety

This section includes instructions on some important
maintenance tasks. You can perform some of these
tasks with the tools provided – if you have basic
mechanical skills.
Other tasks that are more difficult and require special
tools are best performed by professionals. Wheel
removal should normally be handled only by a Honda
technician or other qualified mechanic; instructions are
included in this manual only to assist in emergency
service.
Some of the most important safety precautions follow.
However, 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.
WARNING
!
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions
and precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt
or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in this
owner's manual.

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 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 instructions before you begin, and make
sure you have the tools and skills required.
• To help prevent the motorcycle from falling over,
park it on a firm, level surface, using the side stand
or a maintenance stand to provide support.
• To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be
careful when working around petrol. Use only
nonflammable solvent, not petrol, 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
genuine Honda parts or their equivalents for repair and
replacement.
