Set-up and pre-delivery service must be performed by an authoriz ed Honda motorcycle dealer.

MPD 11396 (0601 ) Issued: January 2006

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER SET-UP AND PRE-DEL IVERY SERVICE

FOR YOUR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY Proper set-up and pre-delivery service are essential to rider safety and the reliability of the

machine. Any error or oversight ma de by the t echnician as sembling and ser vicing a ne w machine can result in faulty operation, damage to the machine, or injury to the rider.

WARNING

Improper set-up or pre-delivery service can create an unsafe condition that can cause your customer to be seriously hurt or killed.

Follow the procedures and precautions in this manual and the service manual carefully.

FOR YOUR SAFE T Y Some of the most important safety precautions are given below. However, we cannot warn you

of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing set-up and pre-delivery service. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.

WARNING

Failure to properly follow instructions and precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt or killed.

Follow the procedures and precautions in this manual carefully.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Make sure you have a clear understanding of all basic shop safety practices and that you are

wearing appropriate clothing and safety equipment. When performing the set-up or pre-delivery service, be especially careful of the following:

• Read the instructions before you begin, a nd make sure you have the tools and skills required to

perform the tasks safely.

• To prevent the machine from falling on you, park it on a firm, level surface, using the proper

stand(s) to provide firm support.

Make sure the engine is off before you begin any servicing procedures. This will help eliminate several potential hazards:

• Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust—be sur e th ere is adequ ate ventilati o n

whenever you run the engine.

• Burns from hot parts—let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.

• Injury from moving parts—do not run the engine unless the instruction tells you to do so. Even

then, keep your hands, fingers, and clothing away.

To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline or batteries. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep all cigarettes, sparks an d fl am es away fro m the battery and all fuel- re l ated parts.
