Checking the steering
Worn or loose steering bearings may
cause danger. Therefore, the operation of
the steering must be checked as follows at
the intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart.
1. Place a stand under the engine to
raise the front wheel off the ground.
EW000115WARNING0
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.
EAU01144
Checking the wheel bearings
The front and rear wheel bearings must be
checked at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. If there is play in the wheel hub or if
the wheel does not turn smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the wheel bearings.
