INSPECTION
Refer to the Safety Precautions on page
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. Swingarm bearings should be checked by
pushing hard against the side of the rear
wheel while the motorcycle is on the
center stand. Free play indicates worn
bearings.
3. Carefully inspect all front and rear
suspension fasteners for tightness.
