136 Servicing Your Honda
Additional Maintenance Procedures
Refer to Important Safety Precautions on page 33.
1. With your motorcycle on an optional
workstand or equivalent support (front wheel
elevated), turn the handlebar to the right and
left to check for roughness in the steering head
bearings.
2. Stand in front of your motorcycle, grab the
fork (at the axle), look at the steering head, and
push the fork in and out (toward the engine) to
check for play in the steering head bearings.
If any roughness or play is felt, but you do not see
any movement in the steering head, the fork
bushings may be worn.
Refer to an official Honda Service Manual for
replacement or adjustment procedures, or see your
dealer.
1. Check the handlebar (1) for bends or cracks.
2. Check that the handlebar has not moved from
its original position where the end of the
handlebar holders (2) is aligned with the paint
marks (3).
3. Check the torque of the handlebar upper holder
bolts (4):
16 lbf·ft (22 N·m, 2.2 kgf·m)
Tighten the front bolts first.
Periodically, disconnect the clutch cables at their
upper ends. Thoroughly lubricate the cable pivot
points with a commercially available cable
lubricant. If the clutch lever and throttle operation
is not smooth, replace the cable.
Be sure the throttle returns freely from fully open
to fully closed automatically, in all steering
positions.
