Checking the steering
Worn or loose steering bearings may
cause danger. Therefore, the opera-
tion of the steering must be checked
as follows at the intervals specified in

tion chart.
1. Place a stand under the engine to
raise the front wheel off the
ground. (See page 6-35 for more
information.) WARNING! To
avoid injury, securely support
the vehicle so there is no dan-
ger of it falling over.

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 stee-
ring.
