3. Replace the seat in the original position.
Steering inspection
Periodically inspect the condition of the steer-
ing. Worn out or loose steering bearings may
be dangerous.
Place a block under the engine to raise the
front wheel of the motorcycle off the ground:
then hold the lower end of the front fork and
try to move forward and backward. If any
free play can be felt, ask a Yamaha dealer to
inspect and adjust the steering assembly.
Inspection is easier if the front wheel is
removed.
