Brakes
Check that the front and rear brakes are
functioning properly.
Steering
Check that the handlebar turns smoothly
without excessive free play or tight spots,
Ensure that the control cables do not restrict
the steering in any way.
Tyres
High speed operation is hard on tyres, and
good tyres are crucial for 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 tyre
pressures. Observe the information given in
maintenance and specification sections on
tyre checking and tyre safety.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the higher
consumption experienced during high
speed operation.
Engine Oil
Make certain that the oil level is visible
mid-way up the sight glass. Ensure that the
correct grade and type of oil is used when
topping-up.
Coolant
Check that the coolant level is at the upper
level line in the expansion tank. (Always
check level with engine cold).
Electrical Equipment
Make certain that the headlight, rear/brake
light, turn signals, horn etc., all work
properly.
Miscellaneous
Make certain that all fixings are tight and that
all safety related parts are in good condition.
