Periodically check that the nut-and-spindle assembly and the needle roller bearings of the swinging arm are properly tightened.

Inspection procedure:

Place the motorcycle on the front service stand (OPT); see 1.7.1.

Remove the fuel tank; see 4.1.1.

Fix the slings to the frame at the engine top mounting point.

Lift hoist arm until stretching the slings taut.
