WARNING
To prevent risk of injury from
the motorcycle falling during the
inspection, make sure that the
motorcycle is stabilized and secured
on a suitable support.
When inspecting steering and wheel
bearings, do not exert extreme force
against each wheel or rock each wheel
vigorously as this may cause the
motorcycle to become unstable and
fall from its support.
Failure to follow the advice above
could result in motorcycle damage,
serious injury or death.
