Braking light switch
Regulate the rear braking light switch that the braking light
illuminates before the pedal is pressed down and feels
pressure.
As in Fig.2.2.40
Steering mechanism
It should be checked during the
first 1000 km (5 months) and every 4000
km (20 months) thereafter
In order to turn the handle smoothly and drive safely,
it should adjust the steering mechanism correctly. Too tight
steering mechanism will hinder smooth operation of the
handle, and too loose one will cause poor stability. Check
the front fork assembly to ensure no clearance. Support the
main body of the motorcycle to keep the front wheels off
the ground. Put the wheel towards the front, hold the lower
part of the fork tube near the axle, and pull it back and forth.
If there is clearance, readjust the steering mechanism.
As in Fig.2.2.41
Front fork
It should check for the motorcycle
every 4000km (20months).
Check whether the front fork has oil leakage and
whether there are scratches on the outer surface on the
inner tube. If necessary, it will need to replace the defective
parts.
As in Fig.2.2.42
Rear shock absorber
Check the rear shock absorber to see if there is oil leakage
or damage. If necessary, it needs to replace the defective
parts.
As in Fig.2.2.43.
