PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Check Front Suspension

1. To check the front suspension, straddle the motorcycle and bring it

to a vertical position.

2. Apply the front brake and push down hard on the handlebars

several times. The front suspension should operate smoothly and
quietly.

3. Place the motorcycle on the sidestand and inspect the front forks.

Make sure there is no fork oil present on the fork tube or around the
fork seal.

Check Steering

handlebars from stop to stop. The action should be smooth but not
loose or interfered with by wires, hoses or control cables.
