Before carrying out the following opera-
tions, let the engine and the exhaust si-

Check the slack in the fork head after the
first 625 mi (1,000 km) and thereafter every
3,750 mi (6,000 km).
To check fork head slack:
◆
Remove the oil pan guard (1), seep. 82
(REMOVING THE OIL PAN GUARD).
NOTE Prepare a 12.60 in (320 mm) high
support, the base of which must measure
7.87 x 7.87 in (200 x 200 mm).
◆
Place the support (2) under the vehicle
and a soft cloth (3) between them, so
that the front wheel can move freely and
the vehicle cannot fall down.
aWARNING
Make sure that the vehicle is stable.
If it falls over, it may cause injury to by-
standers and other property, as well as
being damaged itself.
◆
Shake the fork in the direction of travel.
NOTE Carry out this operation with
care. Do not pull the fork back and forth
too vigorously, or you may observe play in
the center stand, which would give you a
false indication of fork head slack.
Repeat this operation several times until
you are confident you have accurately as-
sessed the fork head slack.
◆
There should be no fore and aft slack. If
you detect any slack, arrange to have
your vehicle repaired by your Local april-
ia Dealer.
