How to Ride the Motorcycle
108
Tyres
High speed operation is hard on tyres,
and tyres that are in good condition are
crucial to riding safely. Examine their
overall condition, inflate to the correct
pressure (when the tyres are cold),
and check the wheel balance. Securely
fit the valve caps after checking tyre
pressures. Observe the information
given in the Maintenance and
Specification sections on tyre checking
and tyre safety.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the increased
fuel consumption that will result from
high speed operation.
Caution
In many countries, the exhaust system
for this model 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 make sure you have adequate
fuel for your journey.
Engine Oil
Make sure that the engine oil level is
correct. Make sure that the correct
grade and type of oil is used when
topping up.
Final Drive Oil
Make sure that the final drive oil level
is correct. Make sure that the correct
grade and type of oil is used when
topping up.
Coolant
Check that the coolant level is between
the minimum and maximum levels in the
expansion tank. Always check the level
with the engine cold.
Electrical Equipment
Make sure that the headlight, rear/
brake light, direction indicators, horn,
etc. all work properly.
Miscellaneous
Visually check that all fixings are tight.
