FuelCheck that a fresh gasoline is filled in the fuel tank. Check the
fuel line for leakage.P.1-12
Engine oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crankcase for leak-
age.P.3-7 ~ 10
Gear shifter and clutchCheck that gears can be shifted correctly in order and that the
clutch operates smoothly.P.3-4
Throttle grip/housingCheck that the throttle grip operation and free play are correctly
adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and housing, if necessary.P.3-4 ~ 5
BrakesCheck the play of front and rear brake and effect of front and
rear brake.
Check fluid level and leakage. (TT-R125LW only)P.3-15 ~ 20
Drive chainCheck chain slack and alignment. Check that the chain is lubri-
cated properly.P.3-21 ~ 22
WheelsCheck for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check for loose
spokes and have no excessive play.P.3-24 ~ 25
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and have no
excessive play.P.3-25 ~ 27
Front forks and rear shock
absorber assemblyCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil leakage. P.3-23 ~ 24
Cables (wires)Check that the clutch and throttle cables move smoothly. Check
that they are not caught when the handlebars are turned or
when the front forks travel up and down.—
Muffler Check that the muffler is tightly mounted and has no cracks. P.4-2
Sprocket Check that the driven sprocket tightening nut is not loose. P.3-20
Lubrication Check for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. P.3-28
Bolts and nuts Check the chassis and engine for loose bolts and nuts. —
