STEERING WHEEL BALL PLAY ADJUSTMENT
To ensure maximum safety, the steering wheel should always
be regulated so that the handlebars steering the motorcycle
rotate freely without play. To check steering wheel adjustment,
place kick stand or other support under the engine so that the
front wheel is raised from ground.
Place slight pressure on the tips of the handlebars to rotate steer-
ing wheel; the handlebars should also rotate without effort.
