Maintenance Fundamentals
Pre-ride Inspection
To ensure safety, it is your responsibility to
perform a pre-ride inspection and make sure
that any problem you find is corrected. A pre-
ride inspection is a must, not only for safety, but
because having a breakdown, or even a flat
tyre, can be a major inconvenience.
Check the following items before you get on
your motorcycle:
● Fuel level - Fill fuel tank when necessary.

● Throttle - Check for smooth opening and
full closing in all steering positions. 2 P. 73

indicators and horn function properly.
