Upper Steering Disassembly (Fig. 13 and 14)

NOTE: The front fork and steering assemblies on the SP 2020 and SP 3020 are almost identical. However, there are differences in the construction of the front fork, chain guide, chain bracket, and the number of steering washers.

1.Park machine on a level surface, lower attachment, stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key from the ignition switch.

2.Remove hood from the dash panel and machine (see Hood and Dash Panel Removal).

NOTE: The starter solenoid must be removed from the frame to allow separation of the upper and lower steer- ing shafts from the steering knuckle. Removal is not re- quired for removal of the front fork.

3.Remove black (negative) cable from the battery.

4.Disconnect starter wire and battery cable from the starter solenoid. Remove self tapping screws from the solenoid and frame. Position solenoid away from the steering knuckle (Fig. 15).

NOTE: If disassembly above the steering knuckle is re- quired, use the following procedure.

5.Drive out roll pin securing upper steering shaft to steering knuckle with drift punch.

6.If it is required to remove the steering knuckle at this time, drive out roll pin securing the lower steering shaft to steering knuckle with drift punch.

7.Pull upper steering shaft from steering post and steering knuckle. If desired, pull steering knuckle from the lower steering shaft.

8.Remove both hex flange head screws securing the dash panel to the steering post (Fig. 16).
