cator on the rear brake.

BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH
Adjust the rear brake light switch so that the brake light will
come on just before pressure is fell when the brake pedal is
depressed.

STEERING

Inspect initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 3 months) and
every 10 000 km (6 000 miles, 30 months) thereafter.
The steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning of
handlebars and safe operation. Overtighten steering prevents
smooth turning of the handlebars and too loose steering will
cause poor stability. Check that there is no play in the front fork.
Support the motorcycle so that the front wheel is off the ground.
With the wheel facing straight ahead, grasp the lower fork tubes
near the axle and pull forward. If play is found, readjust the
steering. (8-37)
