Vehicle side viewTire inspection
Inspect tire
every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 12 months)
Tire tread condition
Operating the motorcycle with excessively worn tires will
decrease riding stability and consequently invite a
dangerous situation. It is highly recommended to replace
a tire when the remaining depth of tire tread reaches ...
Rear brake pad inspection
The extent of brake pads wear can be checked by observing the grooved limit
line “a” on the pads. When the wear exceeds the grooved limit line, replace the
pads with new ones. Refer to “rear brake pad replacement” .
Caution
replace the brake pad as a set, otherwise
braking performa ...
Engine top side disassembly
It is unnecessary to remove the engine assembly from
the frame when servicing the cylinder head cover and
camshafts.
Note
before servicing the engine top side
components (until camshafts removal) with
the engine in place, remove the following
parts:
