PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
Brake
Check the brakes for proper function. When you squeeze the lever,
the brake should provide positive braking action. Make sure that
brakes are not rubbing when the lever is released.
Tires
Periodically inspect the tires for excess wear and regularly check the
tire pressure. Reinflate as necessary.
Frame, Fork and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames are
rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb or object,
and wreck and bend or break a frame. Get in the habit of inspecting
your motor bike on a regular basis.
Hardware/Loose Parts
Before every ride, check all parts, such as nuts, bolts, cables,
fasteners, etc., to ensure they are secure and assembled
correctly. There should not be any unusual rattles or sounds
from loose parts or broken components. If the unit is damaged,
do not ride.
Reference “Safety Warnings” on page 1 of

shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and
