Steering Inspection
Raise the front wheel off the ground and check that the steering handlebar
rotates freely. If the handlebar moves unevenly, binds, or has vertical movement,
adjust the steering head bearing. See the Steering Stem Removal topic for more
information.
Front Suspension Inspection
Check the action of the front shock absorbers by compressing them several
times. Check the entire shock absorber assembly for oil leaks, looseness or
damage.
