Steering bearing clearance adjustment

For safety reasons, the steering should always be adjusted so that the handlebar
turns freely and without play. To check steering adjustment, set a stand or a block
under the engine and see that the front wheel is lifted from the ground. Press
lightly on the handlebar grips to cause the front end to rotate; the handlebar
should turn smoothly. Sit on the ground in front of the front wheel and hold the
lower ends of the fork legs. Push and pull in a front to rear motion to feel for play.
If any play is detected, adjust as follows:
- Loosen the steering head tube nut (1);
- Loosen the four bolts (3) that secure the fork legs to the steering head; -
Turn the steering head tube ring nut (2) clockwise using the special key until
achieving correct play adjustment;
- Tighten the steering head tube nut (1) to 8÷9 Kgm. (78.4÷88.3 Nm);
- Tighten the four bolts (3) on the steering head to 22.5-26.5 Nm (2.3-2.7 Kgm).

Steering angle adjustment

Steering angle can be modified by means of the adjuster assemblies located on
either side of the steering head tube as follows: loosen the check nut (1), turn
the adjuster screw (2) until setting the desired steering angle and then re-tighten
the check nut (1). Make the same changes on both sides.
