PRE-OPERATION
CHECKS
Owners
are personally responsible
for their
vehicle's condition.
Your
motorcycle's
vital
functions
can
start
to deteriorate
quickly
and
unexpectedly,
even
if it
remains
unused
(for
instance,
if
it
is
exposed
to
the elements).
Any
damage,
fluid
leak or
loss of
tire
pressure could
have
serious
consequences.
Therefore,
it
is
very important
that,
in
addition to
a
thorough
visual
in-
spection,
you check
the
following points
before
each
ride.
