Pre-ride Inspection
Before Riding
Is Your Motorcycle Ready to Ride?
Tires
Check the following items before you get
on the motorcycle:
Look at the tires. If a tire
appears low, use an air pressure
gauge to check its pressure. Also
look for signs of damage or
excessive wear (page
).
Before each ride, it’s important to inspect
your motorcycle and make sure 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 tire, can be a major inconvenience.
