How to Ride the Motorcycle
77
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the increased
fuel consumption that will result from
high-speed operation.
Engine Oil
Make certain that the engine oil level is
correct. Make sure that the correct
grade and type of oil is used when
topping up.
Coolant
Check that the coolant level is at the
upper level line in the expansion tank.
(Always check the level with the engine
cold.)
Electrical Equipment
Make certain that the headlight,
rear/brake light, direction indicators,
horn, etc. all work properly.
Miscellaneous
Visually check that all fixings are tight.
In all countries except Australia and
New Zealand the exhaust system is
fitted with a catalytic converter to
help reduce exhaust emission levels.
The catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the
motorcycle is allowed to run out of
fuel or if the fuel level is allowed to get
very low. Always make sure you have
adequate fuel for your journey.
