Steering Stem
A.
Construction
The
steering stem is mounted
to the
front
cushions
by bolt
through

fork top
bridge.
The steering
stem
is
mounted to
the frame
head pipe and pivots
on
the
upper and lower
sets
of the ball bearings.
Steering stem
is equipped with
steering damper
to provide
adjustment
of
the
steering stem.
The
steering
stem
can be adjusted for
any
type
of
riding or
road conditions.
If
the
steering damper
knob
is turned
clockwise, force supply

the
fric-
tion
disc
causes the steering to
become tight.
If
the steering damper knob is turned
counter clock-
wise,
a tension of the damper spring
is relieved,
providing
less
friction between damper plates.
The
handle bar lock
consists
of a
lock
unit and support
unit combined with
the steering
stem.
