EAU00794Steering inspection
Periodically inspect the condition
of the steering. Worn out or loose
steering bearings may be danger-
ous. 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.

Securely support the motorcycle
so there is no danger of it falling
over.
EAU01144Wheel 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.
