Inspect the bank angle indicators for wear on the
outer edge.
Replace the bank angle indicators when the bank
angle indicator is worn before the footboard can start
to get damaged.
1. Bank angle indicator
When banking and the bank angle indicator, attached to
the riders footboard, makes contact with the ground, the
motorcycle is nearing its bank angle limit. A further
increase of the banking angle is unsafe.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Frame and Bodywork
Seats
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised
and adequately supported. This will help prevent it from
falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to
the motorcycle.
To prevent damage to the seat and its cover, care must
be taken not to drop the seat. Do not lean the seat
against the motorcycle or a wall as it may fall. Instead,
place the seat, with the seat cover facing up, on a flat
surface which is covered with a soft cloth.
