WARNING: Like any mechanical device, a bicycle and its components are subject to wear and
stress. Different materials and mechanisms wear or fatigue from stress at different rates and have
different life cycles. If a component’s life cycle is exceeded, the component can suddenly and
catastrophically fail, causing serious injury or death to the rider.
5. As required: If either brake lever fails the Mechanical Safety Check (Section 1.C), don’t ride the bike. Have
your dealer check the brakes. If the chain won’t shift smoothly and quietly from gear to gear, the derailleur
is out of adjustment. See your dealer.
6. Every 25 (hard off-road) to 50 (on-road) hours of riding: Take your bike to your dealer for a complete
checkup.

WARNING: A crash or other impact can put extraordinary stress on bicycle components, causing them to

serious injury or death.
