Safety Message: Always ensure the motorcycle is on a stable, level surface (preferably the center stand) before conducting inspections. Keep hands and clothing away from moving parts or hot surfaces like the exhaust.
The Yamaha YBR 125 Pre-Ride Checks post outlines essential maintenance steps to ensure your bike is in good mechanical condition before a journey.
Core Inspection Checklist
Engine & Oil: Start the engine and let it idle for 2-3 minutes. When checking the oil level, do not screw the dipstick in; simply push it in to get an accurate reading. Use high-quality 10w-40 oil.
Tyres: Check pressures when cold.
Front: 25 psi
Rear: 29 psi
Inspect for tread depth, side-wall tears, and the condition of the valve.
Brakes: Ensure the brake fluid (DOT 4) is clean and at the correct level. If the fluid is low, check the brake pads for wear before topping up.
Chain & Suspension: Check the drive chain tension and lubricate if necessary. Inspect the forks and shocks for seal leaks and ensure the steering moves freely without grinding or catching cables.
Controls & Electrics:
Test all lights, indicators, the horn, and the engine kill switch.
Verify the throttle grip operates smoothly and snaps back.
Check that the side/center stand springs are firm and hold the stand securely.
Fuel: Check for any visible fuel leaks and ensure you have enough fuel for your trip.
Performing these checks regularly is recommended, especially for daily commuters or after the bike has been sitting for an extended period.

if you are losing engine oil or topping up regular youll need to find source of leak/loss , engine joints
oil seals , gasket failure if not the engine itself could be burning off oil , check for white smoke .
Tyres
etc , check the valve condition also as this is major cause of flat tyres .

Brake fluid checks ( DOT 4 )
this is something that a lot of people neglect , change your brake fluid regular i hate seeing bikes
with filthy brake fluid , flush it out keep it clean ! .
if your fluid is low check brake pads as they are most likely worn , do not top up fluid until
new pads are fitted.
if you are having to top up fluid regular , then there is a leak and this will need to be found and repaired.
check operation of the brake both of them before riding the bike on the road .
