every 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 12 months) thereafter.

the handlebars and safe operation. Overtight steering prevents
smooth turning of the handlebars and too loose steering will
cause poor stability. Check that there is no play in the front fork.
Support the motorcycle so that the front wheel is off the ground.

near the axle and pull forward. If play is found, readjust the

the outer surface of the inner tubes. Replace any defective
parts, if necessary. (c:::::rS-14)
REAR SUSPENSION
Inspect every 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 12 months).
Inspect the rear shock absorbers for oil leakage and check that
there is no play in the swingarm. Replace any defective parts if
necessary.
