General Information
Check:
Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel leaks
(page 54).
Engine Oil: Correct level visible at sight
glass. Add correct specification oil as
required. No leaks from the engine or oil
cooler (page 90).
Final Drive: No oil leaks (page 98).
Tyres/Wheels: Correct inflation pressures
(when cold). Tread depth/wear, tyre/wheel
damage, punctures etc. (page 10 8 ).
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 (page 10 2 ).
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
(page 99).
ABS: Ensure that the ABS warning light does
not remain illuminated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h) when moving off
(page 38).
Brake Pads: There should be more than
1.5 mm of friction material remaining on all
the pads (page 99).

between the MAX and MIN marks on both
reservoirs (page 101 ).

fork seals (page 10 4 ).

Ensure that the throttle grip returns to the
idle position without sticking (page 49).
