Practice Away From Traffic; Inspection Before Riding - Suzuki VZ1500 Owner's Manual

PRACTICE AWAY FROM TRAFFIC

Your riding skill and your mechanical
knowledge form the foundation for safe
riding practices. We suggest that you
practice riding your motorcycle in a non-
traffic situation until you are thoroughly
familiar with your machine and its con-
trols. Again, consider taking one of the
MSF's Rider Courses. Even experts will
be pleased with the caliber of the infor-
mation presented in these courses. As
the MSF says: "The more you know, the
better it gets!"

INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING

Review the instructions in the INSPEC-
TION BEFORE RIDING section of this
manual. Perform an entire pre-ride
inspection before you head out on the
road. Spending a few minutes preparing
your machine for a ride can help pre-
vent accidents due to mechanical fail-
ure or costly, inconvenient breakdowns
far from home.
