Here are some key points to consider when conducting a visual inspection of a motorcycle:
- Stand the motorcycle on a level surface and engage the side-stand or centre-stand (if equipped) to keep it stable.
- Inspect the frame and bodywork for any signs of damage, corrosion, or wear.
- Check the wheels for any signs of damage, wear, or looseness in the spokes.
- Inspect the tires for any signs of damage or excessive wear, and check the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge.
- Check the brakes for proper operation and sufficient brake pad thickness.
- Inspect the suspension for any signs of damage or excessive wear.
- Check the engine for any leaks, unusual noises, or other signs of malfunction.
- Inspect the electrical system for any loose connections or damaged wiring.
- Check the fluid levels in the engine, transmission, and other systems, and add fluid if necessary.
- Check the lights, signals, and other safety equipment to ensure that they are functioning properly.
