Bank Angle Indicators
1. Inspect the bank angle indicators on the rider's footrests for wear. The bank angle
indicators are worn out when 5 mm of the bank angle peg remains.
2. Bank angle indicators must be replaced when they have reached the maximum wear
limit of 5.0 mm (service limit) in length.
Use of a motorcycle with bank angle indicators worn beyond the maximum limit (when
the bank angle indicator is worn to a minimum 5 mm in length) will allow the
motorcycle to be banked to an unsafe angle. Therefore, always replace the bank angle
indicator pegs when they are worn to 5.0 mm (service limit) in length.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the
motorcycle.
