PRE‐RIDE INSPECTIONS
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
Check to see that the accelerator pedal operates freely. It must operate smoothly and return to the
idle position fully when released. Have your dealer repair as necessary for proper operation.
SEAT BELTS
Make sure the seat belts are not frayed or torn, stretched or damaged. Each seat belt must move
smoothly when pulled out and retract on its own when released. It must also lock up when quickly
pulled. The latch plate should click securely into the buckle and release when the release button is
pressed firmly. Wash off any dirt or mud that could affect the belt operation.
Have your dealer repair any problems with the seat belts.
STEERING
Park on level ground, turn the steering wheel to the right and left. Check for excessive free play,
abnormal noise, or rough movement. Have your dealer make any repair which may be required.
FITTINGS AND FASTENERS
Always check the tightness of chassis fittings and fasteners before a ride. The vehicle to your
dealer or refer to the Service Manual for correct tightening torque.
