Is Your Motorcycle Ready to Ride?
Before each ride, it’s important to inspect your motorcycle and make sure any
problem you find is corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a must, not only for
safety, but because having a breakdown, or even a flat tire, can be a major
inconvenience.
Improperly maintaining this
motorcycle or failing to correct a
problem bef
ore 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.

to check its pressure. Also look for signs of excessive wear
(page 165) or damage to the tires and wheels.
Leaks,
Loose
Parts
Walk around your motorcycle and look for anything that appears
unusual, such as a leak or loose cable.
