  • Review the safety-related maintenance information in the Safety Maintenance section.
  • Before beginning any maintenance procedure, read the instructions for the entire procedure.
  • Always position the motorcycle on a firm level surface before performing service. Make sure the motorcycle will not tip or fall while elevated or while on the sidestand. See the Elevating the Vehicle section for details.
  • Hot engine and exhaust components can cause burns to skin and can ignite a fire if exposed to flammable materials. Always park the motorcycle clear of flammable materials and where people are not likely to contact hot components.
  • Wear eye and face protection when using pressurized air.
