What is the purpose of the T-CLOCS checklist?

The T-CLOCS checklist serves as a systematic method for conducting a pre-ride safety check of a motorcycle. Each letter in T-CLOCS stands for a specific area of the motorcycle that needs examination:

• T stands for Tires and wheels,
• C for Controls,

• L for Lights and electrical,
• O for Oil and other fluids,
• C for Chassis,
• S for Stands.

By going through this checklist, riders can identify potential issues with their motorcycle before hitting the road, ensuring that it is in safe operating condition. This proactive approach helps prevent breakdowns or accidents caused by mechanical failures, enhancing the overall safety of the ride. Proper maintenance and safety checks are essential aspects of responsible motorcycle ownership and operation, making T-CLOCS a valuable tool for all riders.
