MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Brake light switches
Warning
: It is illegal and dangerous
to ride your motorcycle with a
defective brake light. Riding with a
defective brake light could cause an
accident and injury to the rider or
other road users.
The brake light is independently activated by
the front or rear brakes, when the ignition is
in the
ON
position.
Before you ride your motorcycle, apply the
front brake and the rear brake separately
and make sure you physically see the brake
light illuminate.
If the brake light does not illuminate during
your checks, please contact the Maeving
Workshop Team or a Maeving Workshop
Partner. For further information, see
Contacts on page 6.
Steering and wheel bearings
It is important that you regularly check
the condition of your steering headstock
bearings and wheel bearings, to make sure
your motorcycle is in a safe and rideable
condition.
Should you find any cause for concern when
completing the following inspections, please
contact the Maeving Workshop Team or
a Maeving Workshop Partner. For further
information, see Contacts on page 6.
Steering inspection
To inspect the steering:
1. Sit astride the motorcycle and lift the
side stand.
2. Turn the handlebars from fully to the
left to fully right.
3. The steering action should be smooth
from lock to lock, with no noticeable
tight or stiff points during the travel
from left to right.
4. Check that there is no binding of any
brake hoses or wiring harnesses that
may interfere with the steering action.
