How to Ride the Motorcycle

Tyres

High-speed operation is hard on tyres,
and tyres that are in good condition are
crucial to riding safely. Examine their
overall condition, inflate to the correct
pressure (when the tyres are cold), and
check the wheel balance. Securely fit the
valve caps after checking
pressures. Observe the
given in the Maintenance
Specification sections on tyre checking
and tyre safety.

Fuel

Have sufficient fuel for the increased
fuel consumption that will result from
high-speed operation.
Caution
The exhaust system is fitted with a
catalytic converter to help reduce
exhaust emission levels. The catalytic
converter can be
damaged if the motorcycle is allowed
to run out of fuel or if the fuel level is
allowed to get very low. Always ensure
you have adequate fuel for your
journey.
