Service and Maintenance Requirements
38 Servicing and Maintaining Your Empulse
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
In addition to the regularly scheduled maintenance and daily pre-
ride inspections, consider performing the following periodic checks
at least once a month, even if you haven’t ridden your Empulse, or as
often as once a week if you ride frequently or for long distances. It’s a
good idea to perform this maintenance any time you clean your
Empulse.
Check the odometer reading and perform any scheduled
maintenance checks that are needed.
Note: Perform these checks more often if you ride frequently, for long
distances, or in severe conditions.
Wheels and Tires
• Check the air pressure with a gauge and add air if needed.
• Examine the tread for wear. Look closely for nails, embedded
objects, cuts, and other types of damage. Roll your Empulse so
you can inspect the entire surface of the front and rear tires.
• Check the condition of the wheels.
Brake Fluid
• Check the fluid levels of the front and rear brake fluid reservoirs.
Add the correct fluid as necessary and investigate the cause of
any low fluid levels.
Clutch Fluid
• Check the fluid level of the clutch fluid reservoir. Add the correct
fluid as necessary and investigate the cause of any low fluid level.
Lights
• Make sure the headlight, running light, brake light, taillight,
license light, and turn signals are working properly.
Throttle Freeplay
• Check the freeplay of the throttle grip. Ensure that it turns
smoothly and returns to the closed position when released.
Drive Chain
• Check condition, adjust tension, and lubricate as needed.
Fuses
• Make sure you have a full supply of spare fuses.
Nuts and Bolts
• Check the major fasteners and tighten as required.
