Steering System Inspection
Inspect steering system
Initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 2 month) and every
12 000 km (7 500 miles, 24 months) thereafter.
Steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning
of handlebars and safe running. Overtight steering
prevents smooth turning of the handlebars and too loose
steering will cause poor stability.
1) Check that there is no play in the front fork.
2) 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. Refer to
"Steering Tension Adjustment: in Section 6B".
Front Fork Inspection
Inspect front fork
Every 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 24 months)
Inspect the front forks for oil leakage, scoring or
scratches on the outer surface of the inner tubes.
Replace any defective parts, if necessary. Refer to
"Front Fork Parts Inspection: in Section 2B".
