How to Ride the Motorcycle
126
Tyres
High-speed operation is hard on tyres,
and tyres that are in good condition are
crucial to riding safely. Examine their
overall condition, inflate to the correct
pressure (when the tyres are cold), and
check the wheel balance. Securely fit the
valve caps after checking tyre
pressures. Observe the information
given in the Maintenance and
Specification sections on tyre checking
and tyre safety.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the increased
fuel consumption that will result from
high-speed operation.
Engine Oil
Make certain that the engine oil level is
correct. Ensure that the correct grade
and type of oil is used when topping up.
Final Drive Oil
Make certain that the final drive oil level
is correct. Ensure that the correct grade
and type of oil is used when topping up.
Coolant
Check that the coolant level is at the
upper level line in the expansion tank.
(Always check the level with the engine
cold.)
Electrical Equipment
Make certain that the headlight,
rear/brake light, direction indicators,
horn, etc. all work properly.
Miscellaneous
Visually check that all fixings are tight.
Caution
The exhaust system is fitted with a
catalytic converter to help reduce
exhaust emission levels. The catalytic
converter can be permanently
damaged if the motorcycle is allowed
to run out of fuel or if the fuel level is
allowed to get very low. Always ensure
you have adequate fuel for your
journey.
