Under some condi tions, the ethylene glycol in engine
coolant is combustible and its flame is nol visible. If the
ethylene glycol does ignite, you will not see any flame,
but you can be burned.

SERVICE RULES
Nitrogen Pressure
For shock absorbers with a gas-filled reservor:
Use only nitrogen to pressuri ze the shock absorber.
The use of an unstable gas can cause a fire or explo-
sion r es ulting in serious injury.
The shock absorber contains nitrogen under high
pressure . Allowing fire or heat near the shock
absorber co uld lead to an explosion that could
r esult in serious injury.
Failure to relea se the pressure from a sh ock
absorber before disposing of it may lead to a pos-
sible eKplosion and serious injury if it is heated or
To prevent the possibility of an explosion, release the
nitrogen by pressing the valve core. Then remove the
valve stem from the shock absorber reservoir. Dispose
of the oil in a manner acceptable to the En vironmental
Protection Agency (EPA ).
,. Use genuine Honda or Honda - recommended parts and lubricants or their equivalents Parts that do not meet
Honda 's design specifications may damage the motorcycle.
2. Use the special tools designed for this product.
3. Use only metric tools when servicing this motorcycle. Metric bolts, nuts, and screws are not interchangeable with
English 'asteners. The use of incorrect tools and fasteners may damage the motorcycle.
4. Install new gaskets, O-rings, cotter pins, lock plates, etc. when reassembling.
5. When tightening a series of bolts or nuts, begin with the l arger-diameter of inner bolts first, and tighten to the
speci-fied torque diagonally, in increment al steps unless a particular sequence is specified.
6. Clean parts in cleaning solvent upon disassembly. Lubricate any sliding surfaces before reassembl y.
7. After assembly, check all parts for proper installation and operation.
S. Route all electrical wires as shown on pages '-33 through '- 43 , Cable and Harness Routing.
