WARNING : if the functioning or the progressiveness of the front fork is not satisfactory, make it inspect
by your dealer, and replace it if there is a serious problem.
6.19.3 Check of the steering
It might happen that the steering bearings are loose or damaged. Then they may cause serious
dysfunction in the steering. That is why the owner is expected to check it as often as possible (look at
the „List of the regular maintenance and lubrications‟).
Here are the different operations to follow :
1. Put the bike on blocks to allow you to lift the front wheel off the ground. A wedge placed
under the engine protection is the simplest solution. Make sure the bike will not overturn during the
operation.
2. Hold one fork pipe a hand and try to make them move forward and backwards many times. If
a loose appears, ask your dealer to check it, and to repair or replace the defective parts if necessary.
6.19.4 Check of the wheel bearings
Check the condition and the progressiveness of the wheels bearings in accordance with the pieces of
information of the „List of the regular maintenance and lubrications‟. In case the buckles have loose, or
in case the wheels do not revolve well, it has to be inspected and maybe repaired or replaced by an
occupational mechanistic.
6.20 Replacement of electric elements
6.20.1 Replacement of a light bulb
If one of the bulbs is dud, you can replace it, by following the instructions:

Undo the two screws of the head light.

Remove the light of the headlight.

Separate the bulb support from the light.

Remove the dud bulb by pressing on it while you turn it, until the bulb is pulled away.

Put a new bulb on the bulb support, press on it and turn clockwise, until the bulb is
stopped into the support.

Put back the bulb support on the light.

Replace the light on the headlight and tighten the two screws.
WARNING:
The bulb becomes hot very quickly after the beginning of its use. To avoid the risks of burns and
inflammation, it is essential to hold the bulb with a piece of rag and to operate far away from the
sources of heat and flames.
The glass of light bulbs must absolutely not be touched by the fingers, in order not to let greasy
deposits. In fact they reduce the transparency of the glass so that the light beam is not as intensive
as it is expected to be. Clean the traces with a soft duster, alcohol or solvent, AFTER THE COMPLETE
COOLING OF THE BULB.
