SAFE OPERATION
Wheels and tyres
WARNING: Never install a tyre to your motorcycle that is not
the specified size and is not suitable for a spoked wheel and
an inner tube, as this may lead to a loss of control and/or an
accident, potentially causing injury or death.
To check spoke tension, lightly tap each spoke with a suitable tool,
e.g., a small spanner, and listen closely to the sound that each spoke
produces.
Each spoke should produce the same pitch sound. If three or more
spokes are found to be making a lower or higher pitch, the spokes
should be adjusted to prevent wheel rimmisalignment.
Check both tyres for condition and tread depth, paying particular
attention to any possible damage, i.e., cuts, splits, or objects in the tyre
tread that could penetrate the tyre body and cause a puncture. When
the tyres are cold, check the pressures are correct and as specified.
For further information, see Tyres on page 76.
WARNING: If the tyre or inner tube sustains a puncture, the
tyre and inner tube must be replaced; a repaired tyre or
inner tube can lead to instability and result in loss of control,
potentially causing injury or death.
WARNING: Riding the motorcycle with excessively worn tyres
is hazardous and will aect the handling, stability and road
grip. Riding with excessively worn tyres may lead to loss of
control and an accident, causing injury or death.
WARNING: Never ride your motorcycle with very low
pressures, as this could seriously aect the handling and
stability of your motorcycle when in use and result in loss of
control, potentially causing damage to the motorcycle, serious
injury or death.
Brakes
Pull the brake levers individually and check for the correct resistance.
Investigate whether lever travel is excessive before meeting
resistance or whether either brake lever feels spongy in operation.
For further information, see Braking system on page 65.
WARNING: If the brake levers feel spongy or soft, or there is
excessive brake lever travel, there may be air in the braking
system, or the braking system may be defective. Under
these conditions, it is dangerous to operate your motorcycle,
and the motorcycle should be inspected by the Maeving
Workshop Team, a Maeving Workshop Partner or a qualified
person or business with an extensive technical knowledge
of motorcycles to rectify the problem before riding your
motorcycle again. For further information, see Contacts on
page 6. Riding with defective brakes may lead to loss of
control, potentially causing injury or death.
