Service
A prerequisite for perfect operation and the prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work on the engine and chassis are properly carried out as described in the Owner’s Manual. Poor suspension settings can result in damage to the components. Using the motorcycle in extreme operating conditions, e.g. on very muddy and wet roads or in a dusty and dry environment, can lead to above-average wear of components, such as the drive train, brakes or air filter. For this reasons, it may be necessary to service or replace worn parts before the interval listed in the service schedule is reached. It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated run-in times and service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.
Figures
