How to Ride the Motorcycle
110
Luggage
Make sure that any luggage containers
are closed, locked and securely fitted to
the motorcycle.
Miscellaneous
Visually check that all fixings are tight.
Steering
Check that the handlebar turns
smoothly without excessive free play or
tight spots. Make sure that the control
cables do not restrict the steering in
any way.
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.
