Wheel bearings
If there is play in the front or rear wheel hub or if the wheel
does not turn smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
wheel bearings. The wheel bearings should be inspected
according to the Maintenance Schedule. Steering inspection
Securely support the motorcycle so there is no danger
of it falling over. Periodically inspect the condition of the steering. Worn out
or loose steering bearings may be dangerous. Place a stand
under the engine to raise the front wheel off the ground.
Hold the lower end of the front forks and try to move them
forward and backward. If any free play can be felt, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect and adjust the steering. Inspection
is easier if the front wheel is removed.
