Worn or loose steering bearings may
cause danger. Therefore, the opera-
tion of the steering must be checked

Securely support the motorcycle
so that there is no danger of it
falling over.
2. Hold the lower ends of the front
fork legs and try to move them
forward and backward. If any
free play can be felt, have a
Yamaha dealer check or repair
the steering.
To check the operation
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.
2. While applying the front brake,
push down hard on the handle-
bars several times to check if the
front fork compresses and
rebounds smoothly.
