Pre-ride Inspection
To ensure safety, it is your responsibility to
perform a pre-ride inspection and make sure
that any problem you find is corrected. A pre-
ride inspection is a must, not only for safety, but
because having a breakdown, or even a flat
tyre, can be a major inconvenience.
Check the following items before you get on
your vehicle:
●
Fuel level - Fill fuel tank when necessary
●
Throttle - Check for smooth opening and
full closing in all steering positions
●
Engine oil level - Add engine oil if necessary.
Check for leaks
●
Coolant level - Add coolant if required.
Check for leaks
●
Drive chain - Check condition and slack,

●
Brakes - Check operation;
Front and Rear: check brake fluid level and
pads wear
●
Lights and horn - Check that lights,
indicators and horn function properly
●
Clutch - Check operation;
●
Wheels and tyres - Check condition, air
pressure and adjust if necessary
