will come on just before pressure is felt when the brake
pedal is depressed.
STEERING
NOTE :
Inspect Initial 1,000 km and Every 4,000 km.
Steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning
of handlebars and safe running. Overtight steering pre-
vents smooth turning of the handlebars and too loose
steering will cause poor stability. Check that there is no
play in th steering stem while grasping the lower fork
tubes by supporting the machine so that the front wheel
is off the ground, with the wheel straight ahead, and pull
forward. If play is found, perform steering bearing
adjustment as described in page 6-30 of this manual.
FRONT FORK
NOTE :
Inspect Every 4,000 km.
Inspect the front forks for oil leakage, scoring or scratch-
es on the outer surface of the inner tubes. Replace any
defective parts, if necessary.
REAR SUSPENSION
NOTE :
Inspect Every 4,000 km.
Inspect the rear shock absorber for oil leakage and
mounting rubbers including engine mounting for wear
and damage. Replace any defective parts, if neces-
sary.(Refer to page 6-43)
