.. Check for any oil leaks from the engine1rocker covers, side covers1 rear shock absorbers and front. Don=t worry
if you see a bit of oil under the 89" engine cover. It will be form the chain.
10. &fter engine has warmed up for a couple of minutes1 the tick tick noise of the auto de1compressor should
stop. Check the idling is stable and not erratic3:umping up<down4. "tarting should be smooth and not take more
then one crank to start3not more the # seconds to start4
11. Take a ride on the bike and make sure you have a pillion rider as you need to see if you have rubbing issues

1%. Check the accelerator cable1 should not get stuck when turning left or right while on C stand. Check the choke

to engage both the stands.
1). To check for any pre damage to the chassis front. Turn the handle bar left to right. It should turn e;ually to
both the sides and not more or less at one side to other.
1+. 9andle should not be tight. To check this, lean the handle to one side wee bit and if it comes down fully then
its fine. To check for loose handle, apply the front brake and rock the bike forward and backward. ?ou will feel the
play or noise if its too loose. ?ou can also put it on C stand and while holding the handle firmly, ask you friend to
grab the front forks and rock it forward <backward. &ny play will be felt easily.
1,. >hile on C stand, rotate the front wheel and check the run out of the tyre or at least any abnormal noise.

moving smoothly .
1.. To check the D.*./ of your bike, open up the (9" electrical bo2 and you will find the green non1 pollution

0. /y 8$ rule, your dealer should fill the fuel tank above reserve and the reserve light should go off. /ut most of
the dealers steal the petrol money and give you only .'(3even less4 to get you to the nearest petrol station. ?ou
can actually demand from him to fill up more then reserve as per company policy or else you should inform 8$
about it. &fter you fill her up, if the reserve light is still on then the fuel level indicator is faulty.
0. &ccessories 1
&4 If you intent to ride solo without the rear seat then get the rear (9" guard3stay4 changed to single pipe one.
/4 (eg guard1 as per your choice to what is available at your dealer.
c4 9orns1 ?ou wont need changing as I feel the twin setup is awesome.
d4 &lloys 1 If you want to kill the looks of a classic but each to its own..
e4 8$ embossed leather tool kit bag and side bags if you like them.
f4 /ike cover1 ?ou can get one if you intent to ride your bike ;uite less. Cant use it when the bike is hot which it
stays for hours at a stretch and not water proof. 9as minimal dust protection.
@4 Apswept e2haust 1 if you fancy the looks and heavier thump. It=s attached to the down pipe and does not come
with free flow down pipe anymore so you wont harm the engine during running in period.
94 Indicator shades1 I personally dont like them but some do. Bust like the one on the front head light.
