Pre-ride Inspection
For your safety, it is very important to take a few
moments before each ride to walk around your
motorcycle and check its condition. If you detect
any problem, be sure you take care of it, or have it
corrected by your Honda dealer.
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.
