FRONT SUSPENSION
Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 44.
Check the fork operation by locking the front
brake and pumping the forks up and down
several times. The suspension should function
smoothly, with no oil leakage from the fork
legs. Damaged, binding, or leaking fork
should be repaired before the motorcycle is
operated. Check security of all fork and
handlebar mounting bolts (1).
Operating the motorcycle with loose, worn,
or damaged steering or front suspension
components may adversely affect vehicle
handling and stability.
If any suspension components appear worn
or damaged, consult your Honda dealer for
fur ther inspection. The suspension
components are directly related to safety and
your Honda dealer is qualified to determine
whether or not replacement parts or repairs
are needed.
