FRONT FORK
The front fork used on the wolf model uses a telescopic design. To maintain the fork, change the
fluid when it is called for in the service coupons and keep the forks free from dust and dirt. Consult
your dealer for details on changing the front fork fluid.
STEERING HEAD BEARINGS
The steering head bearings must be adjusted periodically to avoid excessive play which might
cause steering instability. When properly adjusted, the front fork should turn with just a hint of
bearing drag, but not free play or obvious resistance to turning. The steering head bearings are of
a roller bearing type and are designed for the lifetime of the motorcycle.
