Throttle

Squeeze and release the throttle lever

several times to make sure that there is no
hesitation in its travel. It should be smooth

the idle position when released.

Steering system

Check for looseness in the handlebars.
Turn them as far as possible to the right

and left to make sure that operation is
smooth and unrestricted throughout the
whole range. Make sure that the jet thrust
nozzle also changes directions as the han-
dlebars are turned, and that there is no free
play between the handlebars and the jet
thrust nozzle.

Check that the handlebars are locked in

position. (See “Tilt lever” on page 2-13 for
more information.)
