Steering Blockage - GAS GAS enducross EC 2008 Manuel D'entretien

To check the steering adjustment use a stand under the chassis,
and lift the motorcycle off the ground. Move the handlebar lightly to
either side; if the handlebar continues moving under its own
momentum, the steering is not too tight. Squatting in front of the
motorcycle, grasp the lower end of the front fork (at the axle), and
push and pull the fork (as shown on the previous photo); if free play
is felt, the steering is too loose.
If the steering needs adjustment
- Use a stand or a special support to stabilize the motorcycle.
- Raise the front wheel off the ground.
- Remove the handlebar (A) by loosening the handlebar holder
screws and removing the upper holders.
- Loosen the steering stem nut (B).
- Loosen the screws of the suspension top bridge (C) and remove
it.
- Turn the steering adjustment nut with the special wrench to obtain
the proper adjustment.
- Install the suspension top bridge (D).
- Tighten the steering stem nut, and front fork washers and screws.
Steering nut: 44 Nm (4.5 Kgm).
