MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
STEERING
DANGER
Handlebars with excessive play or an incorrect adjustment are
extremely dangerous for driving.
Steering - verification
The steering should always be kept adjusted so that the handlebar
will turn freely but without excessive play
To check the steering adjustment, proceed as follows:
- lift the motorcycle off the ground using a support under the chassis
so that both wheels are suspended.
- move the steering gently from side to side.
If the steering continues to turn when released then this means that
the some play has resulted from use.
Make a final test:
- with the motorcycle firmly attached to the supports and with the
wheels suspended, stand in front of the motorcycle; pull and push
the handlebars forward and back.
Steering - adjustment
- Stabilise the motorcycle using a solid support under the chasis.
- Keep the front wheel off the ground.
- Remove the handlebar by loosening the handlebar clamp bolts
