Maintenance Fundamentals
Pre-ride Inspection
To ensure safety, it is your responsibility to
perform a pre-ride inspection and make sure
that any problem you find is corrected. A pre-

Check the following items if you are carrying a
cargo:

motorcycle:

binding.
●
Brake lever and pedal operate normally.
●
Check the fuel level and refuel when
needed.
