PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
INTRODUCTION
To keep your vehicle in safe operating condition, always perform the
recommended pre-ride inspections before each use of the vehicle. This is
especially important before making a long trip and when removing the vehicle
from storage.
WARNING
Failure to perform the recommended pre-ride inspections could result in
component failure while riding, which could result in serious injury or death.
Always perform the pre-ride inspections before each ride. When inspection
reveals the need for adjustment, replacement or repair, perform the service
promptly.
You must be familiar with all instruments and controls to perform the pre-ride
inspections.
NOTICE
During the pre-ride inspections you may use products that are potentially
hazardous, such as oil or brake fluid. When using any of these products,
always follow the instructions and warnings on the product packaging.
When inspections reveal the need for adjustment, replacement or repair:
• refer to the maintenance section of this manual
• refer to the service manual, or
• your authorized dealer or another qualified person can assist with service
Press the engine stop/start button twice before performing the electrical pre-ride
inspections. Press the button a third time to turn off the engine after completing
these inspections. If inspection of any electrical item reveals component failure,
repair or replace the component before operating the vehicle.
