OPERATION
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
For your safety, it is very important to take a
few moments before each ride to walk around
your motorcycle and check its condition. If you
detect any problem, be sure you take care of it,
or have it corrected by your dealer.
Improperly maintaining this motorcycle
or failing to correct a problem before
riding can cause a crash in which you
can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always perform a pre-ride inspection
before every ride and correct any
problems.
