How to Ride the Motorcycle
Brakes
Check that the front and rear brakes are
functioning properly.
Tyres
High-speed operation is hard on tyres, and
good tyres are crucial for riding safely.
Examine their overall condition, inflate to the
correct pressure (when the tyres are cold),
and check the wheel balance. Securely fit the
valve caps after checking tyre pressures.
Observe the information given in the
Maintenance and Specification sections on
tyre checking and tyre safety.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the higher
consumption experienced during high-speed
operation.
Engine Oil
Make certain that the oil level is correct.
Ensure that the correct grade and type of oil
is used when topping up.
Electrical Equipment
Make certain that the headlight, rear/brake
light, indicators, horn etc., all work properly.
Miscellaneous
Make certain that all fixings are tight and that
all safety related parts are in good condition.
Caution
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 ensure
you have adequate fuel for your journey.
