· Suspension, Steering and Final drive Check

Check that the suspension operates smoothly without binding.

Check that the steering moves smoothly from lock to lock.

Check for slack in chain and lubricate if necessary

· Tyre Check

Tyres must be checked when they are COLD for the correct pressure;

Measure depth of tread at the centre of the tyre with a depth gauge (Honda recommends min of 2mm)

Check wear indicator bar on sidewall of tyre (usually an arrow or triangle with the letters TWI)

· Safety Check

Check that the Headlights (High and Low beam), Taillights (Brake On and Off), Instrument lights and Turn Signals work correctly.

Check horn works

Check throttle grip rotates smoothly and snaps shut when released, in all steering positions.

Check engine stops when the Kill Switch is operated

Check that the side stand return spring holds the stand securely

Check the clutch and brake levels operate smoothly.

This may seem obvious, but check that you have enough fuel to complete your journey and check for fuel leaks.

Ensure you use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL (Honda recommends using Premium Unleaded or Higher)
