How to Ride the Motorcycle
Brakes
Check that the front and rear brakes are
functioning properly.
Tires
High-speed operation is hard on tires, and
good tires are crucial for riding safely.
Examine their overall condition, inflate to the
correct pressure (when the tires are cold), and
check the wheel balance. Securely install the
valve caps after checking tire pressures.
Observe the information given in the
Maintenance and Specification sections on
tire checking and tire safety.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the higher
consumption experienced during high-speed
operation.
Engine Oil
Make certain that the oil level is correct.
Ensure that the correct grade and type of oil
is used when topping-off.
Electrical Equipment
Make certain that the headlight, brake/tail
light, turn signals, horn etc., all work properly.
Miscellaneous
Make certain that all fasteners are tight and
that all safety related parts are in good
condition.
Caution
The exhaust system is fitted with a catalytic
converter to help reduce exhaust emission
levels. The catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the motorcycle is
allowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel level
is allowed to get very low. Always ensure
you have adequate fuel for your journey.
