Periodic routine maintenance is a continuous process that commences immediately the machine is used and continues until the machine is no longer fit for service.
It must he carried out at specified mileage recordings or on a calendar basis if the machine is not used regularly, whichever is the soonest. Maintenance should be regarded as an insurance policy, to help keep the machine in the peak of condition and to ensure long, trouble-free service.
It has the additional benefit of giving early warning of any faults that may develop and will act as a safety check, to the obvious advantage of both rider and machine alike.
The various maintenance tasks are described under their respective mileage and calendar headings. Accompanying photos or diagrams are provided, where necessary.
It should be remembered that the interval between the various maintenance tasks serves only as a guide. As the machine gets older, is driven hard, or is used under particularly adverse conditions.
it is advisable to reduce the period between each check. For ease of reference each service operation is described in detail under the relevant heading. However, if further general information is required it can be founo within the manual in the relevant Chapter.
