9 Owners are personally responsible for their vehicleÕs condition. Your motorcycleÕs vital functions can start to deteriorate
quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements). Any damage, fluid
leak or loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important that, in addition to a thor-
ough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.
