Steering; Front Fork; Rear Suspension - Suzuki Burgman UH125 Service Manual

2-20 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

STEERING

Inspect initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 3 months) and
every 8 000 km (5 000 miles, 40 months) thereafter.
Steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning of han-
dlebars and safe running. Overtight steering prevents 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 motorcycle so
that the front wheel is off the ground, with the wheel straight
ahead, and pull forward. If play is found, perform steering bear-
ing adjustment as described in page 8-32 of this manual.

FRONT FORK

Inspect every 8 000 km (5 000 miles, 40 months) there-
after.
Inspect the front forks for oil leakage, scoring or scratches on
the outer surface of the inner tubes. Replace any defective
parts, if necessary. ("8-23)

REAR SUSPENSION

Inspect every 8 000 km (5 000 miles, 40 months) there-
after.
Inspect the rear shock absorbers for oil leakage and mounting
rubbers including engine mounting for wear and damage.
Replace any defective parts, if necessary.
