SET-UP
INSTRUCTIONS

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

MPD 11396 (0601)
Issued: January 2006

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER SET-UP AND PRE-DELIVERY 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 made by the technician assembling and servicing a new 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 SAFETY
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, and 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 sure there is adequate ventilation

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 and flames away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
