Is Your Empulse Ready to Ride? PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
Check the following items before you get on the Empulse:
•
Wheels and tires
Use an air pressure gauge to check the tire pressures. See
“Tire
Pressures”, page 64
. Also look for signs of excessive wear or
damage to the tires and wheels.
•
Chain
Check the condition of the chain. Adjust the chain tension and
lubricate as needed.
•
Leaks and loose parts
Walk around your Empulse and look for anything that appears
unusual, such as a leak or loose parts.
•
Lights
Make sure the headlight, running light, brake light, taillight,
license light, and turn signals are working properly.
Check these items after you get on the Empulse:
•
Throttle
Rotate the throttle to ensure it moves smoothly without binding.
•
Brakes
Pull the brake lever and press on the brake pedal to check that
they operate normally.
•
Clutch and gear shift lever
Pull the clutch lever and operate the gear shift lever to check that
they operate normally.
•
Gauges and indicators
Power up the Empulse and check for normal operation of the
gauge and indicators.
Periodic maintenance should be done at least once a month, no
matter how often you ride. See
“PERIODIC MAINTENANCE”,
page 38 .
