Pre-Operation Check List - Yamaha TDM900 Owner's Manual

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
The condition of a vehicle is the owner's responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpect-
edly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak-
age or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thor-
ough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.
