Check the tire pressure and surface during the maintenance.
There are serial marks
T.W.I. (Tire Wear Indicator) in the
edge of the tire. Check the block of T.W.I. in the tread near
the mark. If the tire wears off to reach the boss, the tire should
be replaced.
Check the damage
(punctures or fractures) on the tire
surface visually. As surface damage may impede driving
stability, such tires should be replaced.
TIRES
Inspect initial 1 000 km and every 5 000 km
Proper tire pressure and condition affect vehicle
performance. Please check the tire pressure and
surface condition periodically.
STEERING
Inspect initial 1 000 Km and every 5 000 Km
Steering stem bearings should be adjusted properly for smooth
turning of the handlebars and safe running.
Steering which is too stiff prevents smooth movement of
handlebar.
Steering which is too loose will cause vibration and damage to
the steering bearing. Check to see that there is no play in the
front fork attachment.
If the play is found, perform the steering bearing adjustment as
described in page 5-16 of this manual.
FRONT AND REAR ABSORBER
Inspect every 5 000 km.
FRONT ABSORBER
Grasp the front brake, squeeze the front absorber to check
it’s motion.
