Tire Inflation
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.
The tire inflation pressure should be checked and
adjusted before each ride. The tire pressure is
checked using an accurate gauge when the tires are
cold. This means that the tires have not been ridden
on for 3 hours. Always replace the valve stem cap
when finished.
Drive Chain
Cleaning The Drive Chain
CAUTION:
•
Wear safety glasses when cleaning the chain to
prevent eye injuries.
•
Never have the motor spinning the wheel. Turn
the wheel only by hand. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
•
Never place your hand or any other body part
between the chain and sprockets. Work with the
chain only in the middle between the two
sprockets. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
•
Do not allow any of the cleaner to get on the
brake rotors or brake pads. If the rotors are
contaminated with cleaner, it will impair the
motorcycle’s ability to stop. This could result in
serious personal injury.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the chain
cleaner you are using; page 5-10 contains general
guidlines. Do not allow any of the cleaner to get on
the brake rotor.
