FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION
INSPECTION
Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 93.
1. Check the fork assembly by locking the
front brake and pumping the fork up
and down vigorously. Suspension
action should be smooth and there
must be no oil leakage.
2. Swing arm bearings should be checked
by pushing hard against the side of the
rear wheel while the motorcycle is on a
support block. Freeplay indicates worn
bearings.
3. Carefully inspect all front and rear
suspension fasteners for tightness.
