STEERING
Inspect initial 1 000 km and Every 4 000 km
Steering stem bearings be adjusted properly for
smooth turning of the handlebars and safe running.
Steering which is too stiff prevents smooth
movement of handlebars.
Steering which is too loose will cause vibration
and damage to the steering bearings. Check to
see that there is no play in the front fork attachment.
If the play is found, perform steering bearing
adjustment as described in page 6-16 of this manual.
