CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE
STEERING PLAY
Periodically check the play of the steering
head tube by moving the forks backwards
and forwards as shown in the figure. If
any play is felt, carry out the adjustment
by following these steps:
• Unscrew the four screws C.
• Pull out handlebar D, paying special at-
tention to clevises E.
• Loosen nut F.
• Reduce the play by turning ring G.
To refit the parts, follow the reverse proce-
dure.
Note:
Proper adjustment must leave no play and
cause no stiffness, and allow the steering
to rotate smoothly. Check the fitting direc-
tion of the clevises as it can alter the ge-
ometry of the handlebar.
