Check the status of: fuel tank rubber plug, fuel tank plug, the fuel tank respira-
tor and the fuel tank.
35.-STEERING HEAD ADJUSTMENT
The steering should always be kept adjusted so that the turn freely and without
play.
To check the setting of direction, lift the bike off the ground, using a stand under
the chassis. Move the handlebar gently to each side; if it continues to move the
handle by itself, means that the steering is not too tight. Squatting in front of the
bike, grasp the bottom of the front fork (on axis), push and pull the fork (1). If
there is play, the steering is too loose.
If you have to adjust the steering:
1. Stabilize the bike with a stand or a support.
