Tire Tread Condition
Operating the motorcycle with excessively worn tires will
decrease riding stability and consequently invite a
dangerous situation. It is highly recommended to replace
a tire when the remaining depth of tire tread reaches the
following specification.

Inspect steering system
Initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 2 months) and every
12 000 km (7 500 miles, 24 months) thereafter
Steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning
of handlebars and safe running. Overtighten steering
prevents smooth turning of the handlebars and too loose
steering will cause poor stability.
1) Check that there is no play in the front fork.
