Front and Rear Suspension Inspection

(Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 41.
1. Check the fork assembly by locking the front brake
and pumping the fork up and down vigorously.
Suspension action should be smooth and there
must be no oil leakage.
2. Swingarm bearings should be checked by pushing
hard against the side of the rear wheel while the
motorcycle is on the side stand. Free play indicates
worn bearings.
3. Carefully inspect all front and rear suspension
fasteners for tightness.

Side Stand

(Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 41.
)
Check the side stand spring (1) for damage and loss
of tension, and the side stand assembly for freedom of
movement.
If the side stand is squeaky or stiff, clean the pivot
area and lubricate the pivot bolt with clean engine oil.
