Pre-Ride Inspections
Front Suspension
Inspect the front forks for oil leaks or damage, and verify smooth suspension operation. See
page 167.
Steering
1. On level ground, straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position. Turn
the handlebars from stop to stop. The action should be smooth, but not loose.
2. Make sure wires, hoses and control cables do not interfere with smooth steering.
