STEERING
Inspect initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 1 month) and
every 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 12 months) thereafter.
The steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning of
the handlebar and safe operation. Overtight steering prevents
smooth turning of the handlebar and too loose steering will cause
poor stability. Check that there is no play in the front fork. Sup-
port the motorcycle so that the front wheel is off the ground. With
the wheel facing straight ahead, grasp the lower fork tubes near
the axle and pull forward. If play is found, adjust the steering.

Inspect every 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 12 months).
