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 Honda 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.
