Pre-operation checks should be made each time the motorcycle is used. Such an inspection can be 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 CHECKS is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before oper-
ating the motorcycle.

8Do not coast for long periods
with the engine off, and do
not tow the motorcycle a long
distance. Even with gears in
neutral, the transmission is
only properly lubricated when
the engine is running.
Inadequate lubrication may
damage the transmission.
8Always use the clutch when
changing gears. The engine,
transmission, and driveline are
not designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting and
can be damaged by shifting
without using the clutch.

shift pedal repeatedly until it reach-
es the end of its travel, then raise
