Steering bearing clearance adjustment

For safety reasons, the steering should always be adjusted so that the handlebar
turns freely and without play. To check steering adjustment, set a stand or a block
under the engine and see that the front wheel is lifted from the ground. Press
lightly on the handlebar grips to cause the front end to rotate; the handlebar should
turn smoothly. Sit on the ground in front of the front wheel and hold the lower
ends of the fork legs. Push and pull in a front to rear motion to feel for play.
If any play is detected, adjust as follows:
- Loosen the screws (3) with a 6 mm wrench.
Loosen and retighten the nut (2) to a torque of 10 Nm - 1.0 Kgm - 7.38 ft/lb.
- Tighten the three screws (3) on the steering head to 25 Nm, 2.5 Kgm, 18.44
ft/Lb.

Handlebar position change

- Remove bumper (1) by cutting the two ties (2) that retain it to the handle-
bar.
