INSPECTION
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY
(a) Compress and extend the front shock absorber rod 4 times or more.
Standard:
When compressed and extended at a constant speed, the stroke of the shock absorber rod is smooth with no abnormal resistance or sounds. When extended, the shock absorber rod returns to its original position at a constant speed with no abnormal sounds.
HINT:
If there are any abnormalities, replace the front shock absorber assembly with a new one.
No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 600 miles (1,000 km) may add to the performance, economy, and life of the vehicle.
Do not race the engine. Do not maintain one constant speed, either slow or fast, for a long period of time. Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or high engine rpm for extended periods of time. Avoid unnecessary hard stops. Avoid full-throttle starts.
