WARNING: A quote from the manual!
“Inexperienced mechanics or mechanics without the proper tools and equipment may not be able to properly perform the services described. Improper repair may result in injury to the mechanic and may render the motorcycle unsafe for the rider and passenger.”

Please isolate the bike’s battery before working on electrical systems or where there is a possibility of inadvertently shorting electrical connections.

Petrol (gas) fumes are highly flammable…….need I say more!
