It is important that you regularly check the

and wheel bearings to make sure your
motorcycle is in a safe and rideable condition.

with defective wheel bearings,
steering headstock bearings, or
an incorrectly adjusted headstock
is dangerous and may result in an
accident, causing injury or death.
Should you find any cause for concern
when completing the following inspections,
please contact the Maeving Workshop Team
or a Maeving Workshop Team, a Maeving
Workshop Partner or a qualified person
or business with an extensive technical
knowledge of motorcycles. For further
information, see Contacts on page 6.
Steering inspection
To inspect the steering:
1. Sit astride the motorcycle and lift the
side stand.
CAUTION: Make sure you take the
motorcycle’s weight before releasing
the side stand to avoid the motorcycle
from becoming unbalanced. An unstable
motorcycle may result in damage to the
motorcycle or personal injury.
2. Turn the handlebars from fully to the
left to fully right.
3. The steering action should be smooth
from lock to lock, with no noticeable
tight or sti points during the travel
from left to right.
WARNING: Riding your motorcycle
with defective steering is dangerous
and could result in an accident,
causing injury or death.
4. Check that there is no binding of any
brake hoses or wiring harnesses that
may interfere with the steering action.
WARNING: Damage, deterioration
or binding of the brake hoses may
cause dangerous riding conditions
that could result in an accident,
causing injury or death.
