INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING

For extended life of your motorcycle, lubri-
cate it according to the GENERAL LUBRI-
CATION section.
 WARNING
Operating the motorcycle with wet
brakes can be hazardous. Wet brakes
may not provide as much stopping
power as dry brakes. This could lead to
an accident.
Test your brakes after washing the
motorcycle, while riding at slow speed. If
necessary, apply the brakes several
times to let friction dry out the linings.
Follow the procedures in the INSPECTION
BEFORE RIDING section to check your
motorcycle for any problems that may have
arisen during your last ride.
