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:
