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.
