Steering; Front Fork; Rear Suspension - HYOSUNG Aquil GV650 Service Manual

2-21 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

STEERING

Inspect Interval
Inspect Initial 1,000 km and Every 6,000 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 the 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 stem nut adjustment as described in page
7-30 of this manual.

FRONT FORK

Inspect Interval
Inspect Every 6,000 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

Inspect Interval
Inspect Every 6,000 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 7-38)
