Before Riding
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 because off-road riding can be tough on a
motorcycle and you don’t want to have a
breakdown far from help.
Note to Parents:
If a youngster will be performing any of the
following pre-ride inspection procedures, it’s
your responsibility to provide careful
supervision and make sure they are performed
safely.
Check the following items before you get on
the motorcycle:
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.
Pre-ride Inspection
Tires Use a gauge to check the air
pressure. Adjust if needed. Also
look for signs of damage or
excessive wear (page 99).
