PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Check Brakes
Check Hoses and Connections
Inspect all brake hoses and connections for dampness or stains from
leaking or dried fluid. Tighten any leaking connections and replace
components as necessary.
Check Brake Pads
Look at the front brake caliper pads at (1), and at rear rear brake
caliper pads at (2). You should see at least 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of
friction material on each of the brake pads. If in doubt, measure
remaining friction material. Replace brake pads having less than the
specified amount of friction material at their thinnest point.
Check Throttle Control Grip and Cables
1. Rotate the throttle control grip. It should rotate smoothly from
its rest position to its completely open position and back again.
It should return to its rest position quickly when released.
2. Throttle freeplay, the amount of throttle control grip movement
from the rest position to the point of cable resistance, should be
1/8-1/4 inch (3-6 mm).
3. Adjust throttle cable freeplay if necessary (see page 103).
