every ride.

BRAKES - Press on the brake pedal and hold in brake lever to ensure that the
brakes are operating correctly.
THROTTLE - Rotate the throttle handle to ensure it moves smoothly.
LEAKS and LOOSE ENDS - Check all hoses for leaks and cables that may be loose.
LIGHTS - Be sure that your headlight, tail light, brake light and turn signals are
working properly.
CHAIN - Check the condition. Adjust the slack (if any) and lubricate (if needed).
TIRES - Use an air pressure gauge to check the pressure. If needed add air. Look
for excessive wear or damage.
If you are riding with a passenger or carrying cargo check:
LOAD LIMIT - Do not exceed the load limit.
CARGO - Secure all cargo.

you are carrying.
