PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

4-3

NOTE:

Pre-operation checks should be made each time the motorcycle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very
short time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

EWA00033

WARNING

If any item in the Pre-operation check list is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating
the motorcycle.
