Maintenance and Adjustment
Page 63
WINDSCREEN
CLEANING
Always
clean
the
windscreen with clean
water and a soft cloth. Dry after cleaning
with a soft, lint free cloth. Minor scratches
can be removed using a commercial
polishing compound suitable for plastic.
The windscreen must be replaced if
scratches cannot be completely removed.
WARNING: Never attempt to
clean the windscreen while
the motorcycle is in motion as
releasing the handlebars may cause
loss of vehicle control and an
accident.
Operation of the motorcycle with a
damaged or scratched windscreen
will reduce the rider’s forward vision.
Any such reduction in forward vision
is dangerous and may lead to an
accident causing injury or death.
CAUTION:
Corrosive
chemicals such as battery
electrolyte
will
damage
the
windscreen. Never allow corrosive
chemicals to contact the windscreen.
STEERING/WHEEL BEARINGS
Steering Inspection
Lubricate and inspect the condition of the
headstock
(steering)
bearings
in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.
NOTE
•
Always inspect the wheel bearings
at the same time as the steering
bearings.
WARNING: To prevent risk of
injury from the motorcycle
falling during the inspection, ensure
that the motorcycle is stabilized and
secured on the support block.
Do not exert extreme force against
each wheel or rock each wheel
vigorously as this may cause the
motorcycle to become unstable or
cause injury by falling from its
support.
Ensure that the position of the
support block will not cause damage
to the oil lines beneath the sump.
