Is Your Motorcycle Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
Periodic Maintenance
Throttle
Brakes
Indicators
If you haven’t ridden the motorcycle in
over a week, you should also check other
items, such as the oil level and other fluids.
See
(page
).
Periodic maintenance should also be done
at least once a month, no matter how often
you ride.
Remember, be sure to take care of any
problem you find, or have your dealer
correct it before you ride.
Check these items after you get on the
motorcycle:
Rotate the throttle to check
it moves smoothly without
binding.
Pull the brake lever and
press on the brake pedal to
check that they operate
normally.
Turn the ignition on and
check for normal operation
of the indicators (page
).
