NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the motorcycle is used. Such an inspection
can be thoroughly accomplished in a very short time; and the added safety it assures is
more than worth the time involved.
w
If any item in the Pre-Operation Check is not working properly, have it inspected and re-
paired before operating the motorcycle.
