SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE

Chassis inspection
Complete the pre-ride inspection of your motorcycle by
checking items on its chassis.
Front suspension & rear shock absorber: Check the
operation of the suspension by pressing down on the
handlebars and seat. Make sure the suspension returns in a
smooth fashion.
Brake lever operation: Check that the rear brake lever and
the front brake lever have pressure and lock the wheels
when you squeeze the levers.
Mirrors: Adjust the mirrors’ aim while seated on the
motorcycle BEFORE you begin riding.
License plate: Make sure your license plate is securely
mounted and your registration is up to date.
Reflectors: Look to make sure all of the safety reflectors are
still mounted to your motorcycle. Replace any missing or
dam- aged reflectors.
Lubrication points: Occasionally check and lubricate
certain controls and points on the motorcycle as called for in
the periodic maintenance schedule (see pages 30 - 31).
