„ Apply or add designated greases and
lubricants to the specified lubrication
points.
„ After reassembly, check all parts for proper
tightening and operation.
„ When tightening bolts or nuts, begin with
larger-diameter to smaller ones at several
times, and tighten to the specified torque
diagonally.
„ When two persons work together, pay
attention to the mutual working safety.
„ Use genuine parts and lubricants.
„ Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal
before operation.
„ When using a spanner or other tools, make
sure not to damage the motorcycle surface.
„ When servicing the motorcycle, be sure to
use special tools for removal and
installation.
„ After disassembly, clean removed parts.
Lubricate sliding surfaces with engine oil
before reassembly.
„ After operation, check all connecting
