OBSERVE YOUR FIRST AND MOST
CRITICAL SERVICE
The 1000 km service is the most important
service your motorcycle will receive. During
break-in, all of the engine components will
have worn in and all of the other parts will
have seated in. All adjustments will be
restored, all fasteners will be tightened, and
the dirty engine oil and engine oil filter will
be replaced. Timely performance of the
1000 km service will ensure optimum ser-
vice life and performance from the engine.
NOTE: The 1000 km service should be per-
formed as outlined in the INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE section of this
Owner’s Manual. Pay particular attention to
the CAUTION and WARNING in that sec-
tion.
INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING
WARNING
Failure to inspect and maintain your
motorcycle properly increases the
chance of an accident or equipment
damage.
Always perform a pre-ride inspection
before each ride. Refer to the table on
the right for check items. For further
details, refer to the INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE section.
WARNING
Using worn, improperly inflated, or
incorrect tyres will reduce stability and
can cause an accident.
Follow all instructions in the TYRES sec-
tion in this owner’s manual.
