How to Ride the Motorcycle
Brakes
Check that the front and rear brakes are
functioning properly.
On models fitted with ABS, check that the
system is functioning by ensuring that the
ABS indicator light does not remain
illuminated at speeds above 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Tyres
High-speed operation is hard on tyres, and
tyres that are in good condition are crucial to
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 increased fuel
consumption that will result from high-speed
operation.
Engine Oil
Make certain that the engine oil level is
correct. Ensure 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.
Caution
In all countries except Australia,
Hong Kong, New Zealand and
South Africa, the exhaust system for this
model 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.
