FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION
INSPECTION
Refer to the safety precautions on page
86.
1. Check the fork assembly by locking the
front brake and pumping the fork up
and down vigorously. Suspension
action should be smooth and there
must be no oil leakage.
2. Swingarm bearings should be checked
by pushing hard against the side of the
rear wheel while the motorcycle is on
the center stand. Freeplay indicates
worn bearings.
3. Carefully inspect all front and rear
suspension fasteners for tightness.
