Before starting the engine, what does the pre-ride checklist remembered as 'T-CLOCS' help a rider inspect?

T-CLOCS is the MSF pre-ride inspection acronym: Tires and wheels, Controls (levers, pedals, cables, throttle), Lights and electrics, Oil and other fluids, Chassis (frame, suspension, chain/belt, fasteners), and Stands (centerstand and sidestand). Running through this check before each ride catches problems — low tire pressure, a frayed cable, a leaking fork, a loose chain — before they cause trouble on the road. Because a motorcycle has only two wheels and less margin for mechanical failure than a car, a systematic pre-ride inspection is an important safety habit the exam expects riders to know.
