Maintenance Schedule
This portion of the manual will tell you how often to perform maintenance. The
maintenance schedule is based on average riding conditions. If you ride more
frequently than usual and in dusty or wet weather be sure to maintain your bike
more often. We recommend that you have your local service center perform
extensive maintenance and repairs unless you have advanced mechanical skills.
Every maintenance item requires some mechanical knowledge. Some parts require
more technical information and tools than others.
* Unless you have proper tools and service information, have your local service
center perform these tasks.
** For safety reason, ONLY your local service center should perform these tasks.
NOTES:
1. Repeat the frequency interval at higher odometer readings.
2. Service more frequently if you are ridding in dusty or wet areas.
3. Service more frequently if you are ridding at full throttle or in rain.
4. Replace every 2 years or at indicated odometer reading, whichever comes first.
