FRONT SUSPENSION
Check front fork action by locking the front
brake and pumping the forks up and down
several times. The suspension should function
smoothly, with no oil leakage front the fork
legs. Damaged, binding, or leaking front forks
should be repaired before the motorcycle is
operated. Check security of all front fork and
handlebar mounting bolts (1).

If any suspension components appear
worn or damaged, consult your Honda
dealer for further inspection. The
suspension components are directly
related to safety and your Honda dealer is
qualified to determine whether or not
replacement parts or repairs are needed.
Do not operate the motorcycle with loose,
worn, or damaged steering or front
suspension components, as handling will
be adversely affected.
