Is Your Motorcycle Ready To Ride; Pre-Ride Inspection - Honda CRF125F 2020 Owner's Manual

Is Your Motorcycle Ready to Ride?

Before each ride, it's important to inspect your
motorcycle and make sure any problem you
find is corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a
must because off-road riding can be tough on a
motorcycle and you don't want to have a
breakdown far from help.
Improperly maintaining this motorcycle
or failing to correct a problem before
riding can cause a crash in which you
can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always perform a pre-ride inspection
before every ride and correct any
problems.
