FRONT SUSPENSION

Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 50.
Check the fork operation by locking the
front brake and pumping the forks up and
down several times. The suspension should
function smoothly, with no oil leakage from
the fork legs. Damaged, binding, or leaking
fork should be repaired before the
motorcycle is operated. Check security of
all fork mounting bolts (1) and handlebar
mounting nuts (2).
