Steering inspection

5
Periodically inspect the condition
of the steering. Worn out or loose
6 steering bearings may be danger-
ous. Place a stand under the
engine to raise the front wheel off
7
the ground. Hold the lower end of
the front forks and try to move
8
them forward and backward. If any
free play can be felt, ask a Yamaha
9
dealer to inspect and adjust the
steering. Inspection is easier if the
front wheel is removed.
w
Securely support the motorcycle
so there is no danger of it falling
over.
