Front Fork; Exhaust Pipe Bolt And Nut - Suzuki VL800 Service Manual

STEERING
The steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning of
the handlebars and safe operation. Overtight steering prevents
smooth turning of the handlebars and too loose steering will cause
poor stability. Check that there is no play in the front fork. Support
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, readjust the steering. (!
