PRE-RIDE CHECKS

Check Electrical Equipment

Turn the ignition key to the ON position and move the stop/run switch to RUN before
performing the following electrical inspections. Return the ignition key to the OFF position
after completing these inspections. If inspection of any electrical item reveals component
failure, repair or replace the component before operating the motorcycle.
Item
Headlamp Tap the starter button to verify that the headlamp illuminates. Switch to high
beam. Verify that the high beam indicator comes on and that lamp brightness
increases.
Taillight/Brake Light Verify that the taillight and license plate light illuminate. If a turn signal is
activated, only the two lower lamps will illuminate. Verify that the taillight
lamps increase in brightness when the front brake lever is applied and also
when the rear brake pedal is applied.
Turn Signals Move the turn signal switch to the left. Verify that front and rear left turn
signals flash, as well as the corresponding light on the indicator panel. Push
the switch inward to cancel the signal. Verify that the signals and the indicator
light stop flashing. Repeat the procedure for the right turn signals.
