Nuts, bolts, screws and other retaining fasteners that may have loosened or
been lost due to vibration.
Tyres, tubes, spokes, wheel rims, shocks, steering damper, steering head
bearings and swing arm pivot points.
Clutch wear, cable stretch, brake pad wear, electrical connections and lighting.
Load - The max permissible weight should be considered when planning a trip, choosing
a route and while loading the outfit. Use common sense, particularly if you’re planning
to go off road.
Shock preload should be appropriate for the terrain and payload.
Tyre pressure should be in accordance with the specifications in the owner’s
manual.
Clutch cable free play should be to specification to avoid excessive clutch
slippage while navigating rough roads, loose sand or gravel, mud, etc.
Being overloaded on the road and particularly over continuous rough terrain
will deteriorate the sidecar bodies’ rubber suspension faster than normal.
When loaded and off road navigate obstacles slowly and cautiously, reduce
speed over rough terrain.

Wind Drag & Load Equalization – Two elements often overlooked are wind drag and
payload balancing.
Maximum cruising speeds should be reduced from the recommended maximum for
sidecar outfits with windscreens that increase wind drag. This can create excessive heat
leading to premature fatigue of vital components and possibly increase oil consumption.
