STEERING HEAD BEARINGS

Support the motorcycle using a safety stand or
hoist, raise the front wheel off the ground.
Check that the handlebar moves freely from side to
side. Make sure the control cables do not interfere
with the handlebar rotation.
Check for steering stem bearings by grabbing the
fork legs and attempting to move the front fork for-
ward to backward.
If the handlebar moves unevenly, binds, or has ver-
tical movement, inspect the steering head bearings
(page 13-27).
