1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
2. While applying the front brake,
push down hard on the handlebars
several times to check if the front
fork compresses and rebounds

pair it.

ward and backward. If any free
play can be felt, have a Yamaha
dealer check or repair the steering.
