6. Every 25 Hours of Hard Off-Road Riding or 50 Hours of Road Riding: Take your bike to your dealer for a
complete checkup.
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. Scratches, cracks, fraying and discoloration are signs of stress-
caused fatigue and indicate that a part is at the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced. While the
materials and workmanship of your bicycle or of individual components may be covered by a warranty for a
specified period of time by the manufacturer, this is no guarantee that the product will last the term of the
warranty. Product life is often related to the kind of riding you do and to the treatment to which you submit
the bicycle. The bicycle’s warranty is not meant to suggest that the bicycle cannot be broken or will last
forever. It only means that the bicycle is covered subject to the terms of the warranty.
