Frame and Bodywork
Side Stand
Operation
of
the motorcycle with incorrectly
adjusted, incorrectly routed or damaged throttle
cables could interfere with the operation of the
brakes, clutch or the throttle itself. Any
of
these
conditions could result
in
loss
of
control of the
motorcycle and
an
accident.
Move
the handlebars to left
and
right full lock while
checking that cables
and
harnesses do not bind or
that the steering feels tight or difficult to turn. A
cable or harness that binds, or
is
tight/difficult to turn
steering
will
restrict the steering
and
may
cause loss
of control
and
an
accident.
