Checking and adjusting the steering head bearing *
Check steering head bearing for play periodically. To check, put motorcycle
on the stand so that the front wheel is off the ground. Now try to move the
fork forward and backward. For readjusting, loosen the three clamp screws

of the top triple clamp and turn steering stem bolt clockwise

until there is
no more play. Don’t tighten the steering stem bolt all the way, otherwise the
bearings will be damaged. With a plastic hammer, lightly rap on the triple
clamp to release tension. Retighten the three clamp screws to 20 Nm.
