HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
128
Engine Oil
Check that the engine oil level is correct.
Make sure that the correct grade and
type of oil is used when topping off.
Drive Chain
Make sure that the drive chain is
correctly
adjusted and lubricated.
Inspect the chain for wear and damage.
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 equipped 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 trip.
Luggage
Make sure that any luggage containers
are closed, locked and securely installed
on the motorcycle.
Miscellaneous
Visually check that all fasteners are
tight.
Steering
Check that the handlebar turns
smoothly without excessive free play or
tight spots. Make sure that the control
cables do not restrict the steering in
any way.
Tires
High speed operation is hard on tires,
and tires that are in good condition are
crucial to 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.
