Rider Checklist... Top Ten Before Riding
You know you should have a pre-ride checklist every time your scooter hits the highway, but how many of us really do it every time? Here are the top ten things an average rider can and should
do regularly, especially if you're one of the many who don't make a comprehensive pre-ride check every time we take off. All you need are some hand tools and basic mechanical ability on a Saturday morning before you head out.
- Check the fluids (the bike's - not the brew in the cooler). Make sure the bike is perfectly level; if there is a rear stand attached to the bike, remove it so it rests flat on the ground. If the bike doesn't have a centre stand, lift it off its kickstand so it sits up perfectly straight. Check the oil window on the side of the crankcase.
GROUP RIDING HAND SIGNALS
Motorcycle hand signals are important for all riders to know and understand but especially when riding in a group. (When riding in a group the signals should be relayed back through the group.)
With your right or left arm extended, move your index finger in a circular motion.
LEFT TURN Raise your left arm horizontal with your elbow fully extended.
