Checking the steering
Worn or loose steering bearings may
cause danger. Therefore, the operation
of the steering must be checked as fol-
lows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
1. Place a stand under the engine to
raise the front wheel off the ground.
Securely support the motorcycle so
that there is no danger of it falling
over.
2. Hold the lower ends of the front fork
legs and try to move them forward
and backward. If any free play can
be felt, have a Explorer dealer
check or repair the steering.
Checking the wheel bearings
The front and rear wheel bearings must
be checked at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. If there is play in the wheel
hub or if the wheel does not turn
smoothly, have a Explorer dealer check
the wheel bearings.
