9 Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s 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 thorough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

EAU00652Tires
To ensure maximum performance,
long service and safe operation,
note the following:
Tire air pressure
Always check and adjust the tire
pressure before operating the
motorcycle.
EW000082
w
Tire inflation pressure should be
checked and adjusted when the
temperature of the tire equals the
ambient air temperature. Tire infla-
tion pressure must be adjusted
according to total weight of cargo,
rider, passenger, and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc. if
approved for this model), and vehi-
cle speed.
EW000083
w
Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several character-
istics of your motorcycle, such as
handling, braking, performance
and safety. Do not carry loosely
packed items that can shift.
Securely pack your heaviest items
close to the center of the motorcy-
cle, and distribute the weight
evenly from side to side. Properly
adjust the suspension for your
load, and check the condition and
pressure of your tires. NEVER
OVERLOAD YOUR MOTORCYCLE.
Make sure the total weight of the
cargo, rider, passenger, and acces-
sories (fairing, saddlebags, etc. if
approved for this model) does not
exceed the maximum load of the
motorcycle. Operation of an over-
loaded motorcycle could cause tire
damage, an accident, or even
injury.
* Load is the total weight of cargo, rider, passen-
ger and accessories.

97. Check and, if necessary, cor-
rect the tire air pressure, then
raise the motorcycle so that
both of its wheels are off the
ground. Alternatively, turn the
wheels a little every month in
order to prevent the tires from
becoming degraded in one
spot.
8. Cover up the muffler outlet
with a plastic bag to prevent
moisture from entering.
9. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the bat-
tery in an excessively cold or
warm place (less than 0°C or
more than 30°C). For more
information, see “Battery stor-
age” in the chapter “PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE AND MINOR
REPAIRS”.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.
