Steering System
Checking Steering Clearance
●。Lift the front wheel up from the ground with a jack.
●When the front wheel faces ahead straightly and the
front wheel is lifted from the ground, the whole handle
shall be able to slide freely to the left and right steering
upper limits by the gravity action after the left or right
handle is pushed slightly.
★If the whole handle cannot slide freely to the left and
right steering upper limits, it indicates that the steering
system is too tight.
●Push and pull the front fork to feel whether there is an
excessive clearance in the steering system.
★If you feel that the clearance is too loose, it indicates
that the steering system is too loose.
○The connect
ion of cable and wire must be
considered, because they may also affect the
movement of front fork.
○Make sure that the winding method of lead and
cable is correct.
○The state of bearing must be good and the
lubricant shall have been added to the bearing,
otherwise the detection result is invalid.
