Steering - Suzuki GSX1400 Service Manual

TIRE PRESSURE
If the tire pressure is too high or too low, steering will be ad-
versely affected and tire wear will increase. Therefore, maintain
the correct tire pressure for good roadability and a longer tire life.
Cold inflation tire pressure is as follows.
Cold inflation tire pressure
Solo riding: Front: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm
Rear: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm
Dual riding: Front: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm

The standard tire fitted on this motorcycle is a 120/70
ZR17 (58W) for the front and a 190/50 ZR17 (73W) for the
rear. The use of tires other than those specified may cause
instability. It is highly recommended to use the specified
tires.

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. (
