Check:
Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel
leaks (see page 82).
Engine Oil: Correct level on dipstick
or shown in sight glass. Add correct
specification oil as required. No leaks
from the engine or oil cooler (see
page 124).
Drive Chain: Correct adjustment (see
page 133).
Tyres/Wheels: Correct inflation
pressures (when cold). Tread depth/
wear, tyre/wheel damage, loose/broken
spokes, punctures etc. (see page 154).
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 fixings.
Steering Action: Smooth but not loose
from lock to lock. No binding of any of
the control cables (see page 142).
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 137).
Brake Pads: Check that the correct
amount of friction material is remaining
on all the brake pads (see page 137).
Brake Fluid Levels: No brake fluid
leakage. Brake fluid levels must be
between the MAX and MIN marks on
both reservoirs (see page 138).
Front Forks: Smooth action. No fork oil
leakage (see page 143).
Throttle: Make sure that the throttle
grip returns to the idle position without
sticking (see page 132).
Clutch: Smooth operation and correct
cable free play (see page 132).
Coolant: No coolant leakage. Check the
coolant level in the expansion tank
(when the engine is cold) (see page 129).
Electrical Equipment: All lights and horn
function correctly (see page 28).
Engine Stop: Engine start/stop switch
turns the engine OFF when the switch
is moved to the STOP position (see
page 27).
Stands: Returns to the fully up position
by spring tension. Return springs not
weak or damaged (see page 83).
