Improperly maintaining this motorcycle
or failing to correct a problem before
riding can cause a crash in which you
can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always perform a pre-ride inspection
before every ride and correct any
problems.

Is Your Motorcycle Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
Pre-ride Inspection
Tires
Leaks
Spokes &
Rims
Check the following items before you get on
the motorcycle:
Use a gauge to check the air
pressure. Adjust if needed. Also
look for signs of damage or
excessive wear (page ).
Make sure the spokes and rim
locks are tight. Also check the
rims for damage (page ).
Look under the motorcycle for
signs of leaking fluids (fuel,
engine oil, brake fluid).
Before each ride, it’s important to inspect your
motorcycle and make sure any problem you
find is corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a
must because off-road riding can be tough on a
motorcycle and you don’t want to have a
breakdown far from help.
