How to Ride the Motorcycle
Tyres
High-speed operation is hard on tyres, and
tyres that are in good condition are crucial to
riding safely. Examine their overall condition,
inflate to the correct pressure (when the tyres
are cold), and check the wheel balance.
Securely fit the valve caps after checking tyre
pressures. Observe the information given in
the Maintenance and Specification sections
on tyre checking and tyre safety.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the increased fuel
consumption that will result from high-speed
operation.
Engine Oil
Make certain that the engine oil level is
correct. Ensure that the correct grade and
type of oil is used when topping-up.
Final Drive Oil
Make certain that the final drive oil level is
correct. Ensure that the correct grade and
type of oil is used when topping-up.
Coolant
Check that the coolant level is at the upper
level line in the expansion tank. (Always
check the level with the engine cold.)
Electrical Equipment
Make certain that the headlight, rear/brake
light, direction indicators, horn etc., all work
properly.
Miscellaneous
Visually check that all fixings are tight.
Caution
In many countries, the exhaust system for
this model is fitted with a catalytic
converter to help reduce exhaust emission
levels. The catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the motorcycle is
allowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel level
is allowed to get very low. Always ensure
you have adequate fuel for your journey.
