To use the motorcycle safely, it must be in a good shape. It is a good
idea to carry out a general check-up of the motorcycle before every
start-up.
This check must include the following operations:
1 LEVEL OF ENGINE OIL
To ensure adequate lubrication, the level of the oil in the engine
must be kept within the envisioned limits. Using the engine with the
oil level below minimum leads to premature wear and successively,
to damage and risks to the driver.
2 FUEL
If the motorcycle does not have a transparent tank, open the tank cap
and visually check the quantity of fuel contained in the tank. Re-
close the tank, making sure that the open vent pipe is not bent and
so impeding the flow of air.
3 CHAIN
The drive chain must always be tensioned corretly and well lubricated.
A loose chain knocks and may escape from the sprockets.
A too tight chain wears early and may cause wear and breakage of
some important transmission components.
4 TYRES
Check for any damage. Tyres with cuts or swellings must be replaced
immediately.
Check the depth of the tread which must correspond to the law.
Finally, check the air pressure and take it to the values envisioned in
the table, if necessary.
Worn tread and unsuitable air pressure worsen driving of the
motorcycle and may cause loss of control and serious accidents.
5 BRAKES
Verify correct working.
Check the level of brake fluid. The reservoir on the pumps are
dimensioned in a way that in case of normally worn brake pads the
fluid does not need to be topped-up. If the level of brake fluid falls
below the minimum level, this indicates a leak in the brake system
or complete consumption of the brake pads. Have the brake system
checked by a specialised TM workshop, given that in this case the
brakes could fail.
The state of the brake’s flexible pipes and the thickness of the pads
must also be checked.
Check the free play and the smoothness of the front brake lever and
the rear brake pedal.
6 FLEXIBLE CABLE COMMANDS
Check the adjustment and correct working of all flexible cable
commands .
7 COOLANT
Check the level of coolant with cold engine. Top-up with the liquid
stated in the table, if necessary.
8 ELECTRICAL PLANT
With the engine running, check for the front headlight, the front and
rear position lights, the rear stopping light, the direction indicator
lights, the control lights and the horn.
9 LUGGAGE
Check that any luggage is well fixed.
