Checking the front fork
The condition and operation of the front
fork must be checked as follows at the

tenance and lubrication chart.
To check the condition
Check the inner tubes for scratches,
damage and excessive oil leakage.
To check the operation
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
WARNING! To avoid injury,
securely support the vehicle so
there is no danger of it falling

push down hard on the handlebars
several times to check if the front
fork compresses and rebounds
