MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Inspecting the steering headstock bearings for free play
WARNING: Riding your motorcycle with defective steering
headstock bearings or an incorrectly adjusted headstock is
dangerous and may lead to loss of control and an accident,
causing injury or death.
Inspecting the headstock bearings for free play:
1. With the motorcycle on a firm, level surface, stand next to the
motorcycle and, holding the handlebars, push the motorcycle
forward and apply the front brake.
2. Repeat the process; roll the motorcycle backward and re-apply
the front brake.
3. If free play is present, you should feel a slight knock from
the headstock or movement from the top yoke (where the
handlebars are connected).
4. If you detect free play, please contact the 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.
Note
: The headstock bearings are also inspected, lubricated
and adjusted in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
