Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners: Visually
check that steering and suspension
components, axles, and all controls are
properly tightened or fastened. Inspect
all areas for loose/damaged fasteners.
Steering Action: Smooth but not loose
from lock to lock. No binding of any of
the control cables (see
page 138).
Brakes: Pull the brake lever and push
the brake pedal to check for correct
resistance. Investigate any lever/pedal
where the travel is excessive before
meeting resistance, or if either control
feels spongy in operation (see
page 134).
ABS: Make sure that the ABS warning
light does not remain illuminated at
speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h) when
moving off (see page 103).
Brake Pads: There should be more
than 0.06 in (1.5 mm) of friction material
remaining on all the pads (see page 134).
Brake Fluid Levels: No brake and clutch
fluid leakage. Brake fluid levels must be
between the MAX and MIN marks on
both reservoirs (see
page 136).
Front Forks: Smooth action. No leaks
from fork seals (see
page 140).
Throttle: Throttle grip free play
0.08 - 0.12 in (2 - 3 mm). Make sure that
the throttle grip returns to the idle
position without sticking (see page 69).
Clutch Fluid Level: No brake and clutch
fluid leakage. The clutch fluid level must
be between the MAX and MIN marks on
the reservoir (see
page 132).

coolant level in the expansion tank
(when the engine is cold) (see
page 128).
