What you should check before each start

When you start off, the motorcycle must be in a perfect technical condition.
For safety reasons, you should make it a habit to perform an overall check of
your motorcycle before each start.
The following checks should be performed:
1 CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL
A lack of gear oil leads to premature wear and finally results in destruc-
tion of the gear wheels.
2 FUEL
Check that there is sufficient fuel in the tank; when closing the filler cap,
check that the tank venting hose is free of kinks.
3 CHAIN
A loose chain was fall off the chain wheels; an extremely worn chain may
tear, and insufficient lubrication may result in unnecessary wear of the
chain and chain wheels.
4 TIRES
Check for damaged tires. Tires showing cuts or dents must be replaced.
Also check the air pressure. Insufficient tread and incorrect air pressure
deteriorate the driving performance.
5 THROTTLE CABLE
Check the throttle cable for proper adjustment and smooth operation.
6 BRAKES
Check the brakes for proper adjustment and correct operation.
Check the brake fluid level for the disk brake (50 Senior Adventure).
7 OIL TANK (50 MINI ADVENTURE)
Check the oil level in the tank. A shortage of two-stroke engine oil will
lead to engine damage.
