STEERING
Steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning
of handlebars and safe running. Overtight steering pre-
vents smooth turning of the handlebars and too
loose steering will cause poor stability. Check that
there is no play in the steering stem while grasping
the lower fork tubes by supporting the machine so that
the front wheel is off the ground, with the wheel straight
ahead, and pull forward. If play is found, perform
steering stem nut adjustment as described in page
7-25 of this manual.

es on the outer surface of the inner tubes. Replace any
defective parts, if necessary.

mounting rubbers including engine mounting for wear
and damage. Replace any defective parts, if neces-
sary.(Refer to page 7-32)
