Maintenance intervals
* Indicates pre-operational check item
--
The
following charts should
be
considered strictly
as
a guide
to
general
maintenance
and
lubrication intervals. You must
take
into considera-
tion
that
weather, terrain, geographical location, and a variety
of
individual uses
all
tend
to
alter this
time
schedule.
For
example, if
the
motorcycle
is
continually
operated
in
an area
of
high humidity,
then
all
parts
must
be
lubricated much more frequently
than
shown
on
the
chart
to
avoid damage caused
by
water
to
metal parts.
