Careful periodic m aintenance will help keep your vehicle in t he safest,
most reliable condition. Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of
important components are explai ned i n the periodic m aintenance chart.

adjustment procedures, have a qualified dealer perform
these operations.
Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average
riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10

serviced more frequently.

Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold

crankcas e. Change oil immediately i f the oil level begins to rise.
Monitor the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and
determine the cause or see your dealer.
