Maintenance Fundamentals

Pre-ride Inspection
To ensure safety, it is your responsibility to
perform a pre-ride inspection and make sure
that any problem you find is corrected. A pre-
ride inspection is a must, not only for safety, but
because having a breakdown, or even a flat tire,
can be a major inconvenience.
Before riding on-road, or returning to pavement
after riding off-road, take a few moments to walk
around your vehicle and look for any loose parts
or anything that appears unusual.
