Inspections Before Riding
Before riding your motorcycle, you should check the following:
Both tires are appropriately inflated.
Neither tire has nails nor other foreign objects embedded in the tread or the sidewall.
The fuel tank contains adequate fuel, and the fuel petcock is in the ON position. If the fuel
petcock is in the RESERVE position, fill the fuel tank at the next opportunity.
The crankcase has oil. You can check the oil level using either the dipstick or the crankcase
viewing port.
The turn signals, the front and rear brake lights, the horn, and the headlight all operate when
commanded to do so (the ignition switch must be in the ON position).
The front and rear brake levers have adequate free play.
The front and rear brakes operate.
The forks turn freely from side to side.
The rear-view mirrors are adjusted appropriately.
The engine kill switch is in the RUN position.
The chain has appropriate slack.
Major threaded fasteners are tight. We always hand check the axle nuts, the exhaust header
nuts and bolts, the muffler bolts and nuts (grab the muffler and check it for any side-to-side
play), the steering stem nut, and the front and rear caliper bolts.
