Steering clearance check and adjustment
Periodically check the clearance in the steering head by
moving the forks backwards and forwards as shown in
the illustration.
CHAIN TENSION
For a longer life for the final drive chain, we advise that
you check its tension periodically.
Always clean off dirt deposits and lubricate it.
If the free clearance in the chain exceeds 20 mm, it needs
tensioning as follows:
- Slack off nut A.
- Adjust with lever B.
- Adjust with the same lever on the opposite side, taking
it to the same position.
- Check the wheel alignment.
- Re-tighten nut A.
If you can feel clearance, adjust it by following these steps:
- Undo the four bolts (C).
- Take off the handlebars (D).
- Slacken nut E.
- Take up the clearance by adjusting ringnut F.
Follow this procedure in reverse for reassembly.
