Brakes
Squeeze the brake lever and press the brake
pedal individually while pushing the motorcycle to
see if it rolls. You should be able to lock-up the
wheels completely by applying the brakes.
•
Throttle
With the key switch in the OFF position, apply the
throttle and release to verify that the throttle is
smooth and returns correctly.
•
Tires
Check both tires for condition and tread depth.
Check cold tire pressure frequently. Check for
damage and alignment. Maintain correct tire
pressure as specified on page 5-10. Replace the
tires when the tread height is 2 mm (0.08 in) or
less.
CAUTION: Under-inflation is the most common cause
of tire failure and may result in severe tire cracking,
tread separation, “blowout,” or unexpected loss of
motorcycle control causing personal injury and
possible death.
•
Electrical System
Check for correct function of the headlight, turn
signals, and the brake/tail lights.
