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.
Tires
High-speed operation is hard on tires, and
tires that are in good condition are crucial to
riding safely. Examine their overall condition,
inflate to the correct pressure (when the tires
are cold), and check the wheel balance.
Securely fit the valve caps after checking tire
pressures. Observe the information given in
the Maintenance and Specification sections
on tire checking and tire safety.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the increased fuel
consumption that will result from high-speed
operation.
Engine Oil
Make certain that the engine oil level is
correct. Ensure that the correct grade and
type of oil is used when topping off.
Final Drive Oil
Make certain that the final drive oil level is
correct. Ensure that the correct grade and
type of oil is used when topping off.
Coolant
Check that the coolant level is at the upper
level line in the expansion tank. (Always
check the level with the engine cold.)
Electrical Equipment
Make certain that the headlight, rear/brake
light, direction indicators, horn, etc. all work
properly.
Miscellaneous
Visually check that all fasteners are tight.
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.
