49 Maintenance Importance of Maintenance Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is absolutely essential to your safety and to protect your investment, obtain maximum performance, avoid breakdowns, and reduce air pollution. Maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. Be su re to inspect your motorcycle before each ride, perform the periodic checks specified in the Maintenance Schedule. 2P. 50 Always read the maintenance instructions before you begin each task, and make sure that you have the tools, parts, and skills required. We cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task. Follow these guidelines when performing maintenance. ●Stop the engine and remove the key. ●Park your motorcycle on a firm, level surface using the side stand or a maintenance stand to provide support. ●Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other high-temperature parts to cool before servicing as you can get burned. ●Run the engine only when instructed, and do so in a well-ventilated area. Importance of Maintenance 3WARNING Improperly maintaining your motorcycle or failing to correct a problem before you ride can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this owner’s manual. Maintenance Safety 12 NC700S (NM-1)-32MGS600.book 49 ページ ２０１２年４月１８日 水曜日 午後６時１７分
50 Maintenance Maintenance Schedule The maintenance schedule specifies the maintenance requirements necessary to ensure safe, dependable performance, and proper emission control. Maintenance work should be performed in accordance with Honda’s standards and specifications by properly trained and equipped technicians. Your dealer meets all of these requirements. Keep an accurate record of maintenance to help ensure that your motorcycle is properly maintained. Make sure that whomever performs the maintenance completes this record. All scheduled maintenance is considered a normal owner operating cost and will be charged for by your dealer. Retain all receipts. If you sell the motorcycle, these receipts should be transferred with the motorcycle to the new owner. Honda recommends that your dealer should road test your motorc ycle after each periodic maintenance is carried out. 12 NC700S (NM-1)-32MGS600.book 50 ページ ２０１２年４月１８日 水曜日 午後６時１７分
