How to Ride the Motorcycle
General
Ensure the motorcycle has been maintained
according to the scheduled maintenance
chart.
Steering
Check that the handlebar turns smoothly
without excessive free play or tight spots.
Ensure that the control cables do not restrict
the steering in any way.
Luggage
Make certain that any luggage containers are
closed, locked and securely fitted to the
motorcycle.
Brakes
Check that the front and rear brakes are
functioning properly.
Tyres
High-speed operation is hard on tyres, and
tyres that are in good condition are crucial to
riding safely. Examine their overall condition,
inflate to the correct pressure (when the tyres
are cold), and check the wheel balance.
Securely fit the valve caps after checking tyre
pressures. Observe the information given in
the Maintenance and Specification sections
on tyre checking and tyre safety.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the increased fuel
consumption that will result from high-speed
operation.
Warning
The handling characteristics of a
motorcycle at high speed may vary from
those you are familiar with at legal road
speeds. Do not attempt high-speed
operation unless you have received
sufficient training and have the required
skills as a serious accident may result from
incorrect operation.
Warning
The items listed are extremely important
and must never be neglected. A problem,
which may not be noticed at normal
operating speeds, may be greatly
exaggerated at high speeds.
Caution
The exhaust system is fitted with a catalytic
converter to help reduce exhaust emission
levels. The catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the motorcycle is
allowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel level
is allowed to get very low. Always ensure
you have adequate fuel for your journey.
