NOTICE
Using coolant not specified for aluminium
engines or tap/mineral water can cause corrosion.
Crankcase Breather
Service more frequently when riding in rain, at full
throttle, or after the motorcycle is washed or
overturned. Service if the deposit level can be seen in
the transparent section of the drain tube.
If the drain tube overflows, the air filter may
become contaminated with engine oil causing
poor engine performance.

pressure gauge to measure the air pressure

least once a month or any time you think the
tyres look low. Always check air pressure when
your tyres are cold.
If you decide to adjust the tyre pressure for a
particular off-road riding condition, make
changes a little at a time.
# Inspecting for Damage
Also inspect for any unusual bumps or bulges in
the side walls of the tyres.
Inspect the tyres for
cuts, slits, or cracks that
exposes fabric or
cords, or nails or other
foreign objects
embedded in the side
of the tyre or the tread.
