In each start off, the engine must be in perfect mechanical conditions. For safety reasons, you should make overall check routine before each
ride. The following inspections should be performed:
1. Oil level: Insufficient oil quantity will result in premature wear in engine components, damaging the engine itself;
2. Fuel: Check if there is enough fuel in the tank;
3. Drive chain: Verify the drive chain clearance and condition. A chain with incorrect tension or lack of lubricant can result in excessive
wear and damage other components. Aside from resulting in premature wear, the chain or transmission axle may break;
4. Tires: Check the air pressure and the existence of cuts or punctures in the tires, replace the tires if necessary. The tread must also
follow the legal restrictions. Insufficient tread and incorrect air pressure will reduce the driving performance;
5. Brakes: Inspect the braking system and brake fluid level. The fluid level below the minimum mark can indicate a possible fluid leak or
completely worn pads. Also check the brake hoses and the brake linings thickness, as well the free play of the brake lever and pedal;
6. Electric system: Check correct function lights, indicators and horn while the engine is running;
7. Steering: Check for smoothness, restriction of movement and steering column bearings looseness;
8. Throttle: Inspect the correct play, smooth operation and the return to close position;
9. Clutch: Examine for correct play, smoothness and progressive action;
10. Suspension: Inspect suspensions for soft movements;
11. Emergency switch: Check for the correct function of the emergency switch;
12. Luggage: In case of taking any luggage, check if it is safety secured.
