must also comply with legal regulations.
Check air pressure; insufficient tread
and incorrect air pressure deteriorate
driving performance.
5 - Brakes. Check correct functioning
of the braking system and brake fluid
level in both reservoirs. The reservoirs
have been designed in such a way that
brake fluid does not need to be refilled
even when brake pads are worn. If the
level of brake fluid falls below the
minimum value, this indicates a
possible leak or completely worn pads.
Manage for the brake system to be
checked by an AJP dealer, as complete
failure of the system can be avoided.
Also check status of the brake hoses
and the thickness of brake linings, as
well as free travel of hand brake lever
and foot brake pedal.
6 - Electric system. Check correct
functioning of headlamps, taillights,
brake lights, indicators, control lamps
and horn while the engine is running.
7 - Luggage. If you are taking any
luggage with you, check that it is
securely fastened.
8 – Steering – Check for smoothness,
no restriction on movement and no play
or looseness.
9 – Throttle – Check for correct play,
smooth operation and positive return to
the closed position.
10 – Clutch – Check for correct play,
smoothness and progressive action.
11 – Suspensions – Check
suspensions for smooth movement.
12 – Engine stop switch – Check for
correct function.
