Motorcycles are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom.
However, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best motorcycle does not ig-
nore the laws of physics.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving your motorcycleÕs value and operating condi-
tion. Moreover, what is true for the motorcycle is also true for the rider: good performance depends on be-
ing in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of the
question. Motorcycle riders Ð more than car drivers Ð must always be at their mental and physical best.
Under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the motorcycle rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passengers.
Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic materials
with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum protective wear,
however, should not encourage carelessness. Though full-coverage helmets and suits, in particular, cre-
ate an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable. Riders who lack criti-
cal self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is even more dangerous in
wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and defensively Ð avoiding all dangers, in-
cluding those caused by others.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
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 thorough visual in-
spection, you check the following points before each ride.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the motorcycle is used. Such an inspection can be thoroughly accom-
plished in a very short time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.
If any item in the PRE-OPERATION CHECK is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating
the motorcycle.
