Your vehicle's lights and horn are your primary tools for seeing, being seen, and communicating warnings. This lesson guides you through a simple but vital check of all electrical components before you ride. You will learn how to verify the function of your headlight (high and low beam), taillight, brake light (using both front and rear brake levers), and turn signals. It also covers checking the horn's operation and ensuring all mandatory reflectors are clean and intact.
