Tire Inspection; Steering System Inspection - Suzuki kq750 Service Manual

Tire Inspection

Inspect tire
Every 1 000 km (600 miles, 3 months)
Tire Tread Condition
Operating the vehicle with excessively worn tires will
decrease riding stability and consequently invite a
dangerous situation. It is highly recommended to replace
a tire when the remaining depth of tire tread reaches the
following specification.
Special tool
: 09900–20805 (Tire depth gauge)
Tire tread depth "a" (Service limit)
Front: 4.0 mm (0.16 in)
Rear: 4.0 mm (0.16 in)
Tire Pressure
If the tire pressure is too high or too low, steering will be
adversely affected and tire wear increased. Therefore,
maintain the correct tire pressure for good roadability or
longer tire life will result. Cold inflation tire pressure is as
follows.
Cold inflation tire pressure
kPa
Front 35
Rear 30
Vehicle load capacity limit
172 kg (380 lbs)
CAUTION
!
To minimize the possibility of tire damage
from over-inflation, we strongly
recommended that a manual type air pump
be used rather than a high pressure air
compressor as found in service stations.
When filling air into the tires, never exceed 70
kPa (0.7 kgf/cm 2 , 10 psi)

CAUTION
!
The standard tire fitted on this vehicle is an
AT25 x 8-12 for the front and a AT25 x 10-
12 for the rear. The use of tires other than
those specified may cause instability. It is
highly recommended to use the specified
tires.

Steering System Inspection

Inspect steering system
Initially at 200 km (100 miles, 1 month) and every 1
000 km (600 miles, 3 months) thereafter
Steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning
of handlebars and safe running.
1) Place the vehicle on level ground.
2) Make sure the tire pressure for right and left tires in
the same and set to the proper specification.
3) Set the front wheels in the straight position.
4) Place a load of 75 kg (165 lbs) on the seat.
5) Measure the distances ("A" and "B") between the
front wheels. Subtract the measurement of "A" from
that of "B" to find the toe-out. If the toe-out is not
within specification, adjust the tie-rod to the right or
left until the toe-out is within the specified range.
Toe-out ("B" – "A")
Standard: 10 ± 4 mm (0.39 ± 0.16 in)
