Operating YOur Vehicle
Pre-Ride Inspection
Before each use of the vehicle, a best practice is to complete the pre-ride inspection checklist.
WARNING
If a proper inspection is not done before each use, severe damage to the vehicle, severe injury, or
death could result. Always inspect the vehicle before each use to ensure it is in proper operating
condition.
Throttle
Before starting the engine, check the throttle pedal to be sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it returns
to the idle position as soon as the pedal is released. Regulate the speed of the vehicle by varying the throttle
position. Because the throttle pedal is an electrically operated mechanism controlled by an ECU, the vehicle
will decelerate and the engine should return to idle speed any time your foot is removed from the throttle
pedal�
Foot Brake
Before operating the vehicle, push down on the pedal to apply the front and rear brakes. When pressed, the
lever or pedal should feel firm. A soft brake pedal would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master cylinder
fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. Contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.
