Maintenance

Elevating the Motorcycle

WARNING! Serious injury or death can occur if the motorcycle tips or falls. Make sure the motorcycle

will not tip or fall while elevated or while on the sidestand.

Some procedures require raising the motorcycle to remove weight from the component being

inspected. Elevate the motorcycle by placing a stable, flat platform jack or lift mechanism on

a firm, flat surface and lifting under the engine crankcase. The platform should be a mini-

mum of 12 inches (30 cm) square. DO NOT attempt to lift the motorcycle without proper

equipment. Always secure the motorcycle properly before lifting so it cannot tip or fall when

elevated.

Road Test

Before returning the motorcycle to regular use, perform a road test in a safe area. Pay special

attention to the proper fit and operation of all serviced components.
Make any corrections or additional adjustments promptly to ensure safe, reliable and enjoy-

able vehicle performance.
