Front Fork / Suspension Inspection

WARNING
Damaged, worn, or loose suspension components
may cause loss of control, increasing the chance of
a crash or possible injury. Damaged, worn, or loose
suspension components must be repaired before
the motorcycle is operated. See Chapter 12.
WARNING
Care should be taken to be sure the motorcycle will
not tip or fall while elevated. Severe personal injury
or death may occur if the motorcycle tips or falls.
1. Place motorcycle on sidestand and inspect inner fork
tube area (A) and brake discs for signs of oil leakage.
Replace seals if leaking (Chapter 12).
2. Clean fork tubes with mild soap and water as required
to remove bugs, tar, or buildup which may cause seal
wear or leakage.
3. Inspect outer surfaces of inner fork tubes for scoring,
scratches, and damage from foreign objects.
4. With motorcycle upright, apply front brake and pump
forks through travel range several times. Fork
operation should be smooth without abnormal noise.
5. Verify all fasteners are tight. Refer to Chapter 12 for
front wheel and suspension torque specifications, and
Chapter 15 for brake system torque specifications.
