Caution
r
I
If removed, the damping rod locknut 'must be fitted
with the flat face facing to the top of the fork. The
slightly tapered face must face the fork spring.
Incorrect orientation may lead to a loosening of the
locknut.
17. If removed, fit a new O-ring to the top cap.
18. Refit the top cap and the damper rod, turning the
damping rod down to the pre-load adjuster mark
noted prior to dismantling.
19. Hold the top cap while tightening while tightening
the damper rod locknut to
22
Nm.
While compressing the fork spring and while the
spring holder is in place always wear protective
equipment for the face and eyes and never stand
directly above or look directly down on the fork. If the
spring compressor or holder should dislodge or
detach, the resulting release of spring tension could
cause parts to fly off resulting in injury to the user.
20. Recompress the spring to remove the spring
holder.
21. Lubricate the O-ring on the top cap with a smear
of fork oil then screw the top cap fully into the
inner tube.
22. Tighten the top cap to
25
Mm.

Note:
It is much easier to tighten the top cap
when the fork has been refitted.

Check
1.
Raise and support the front of the motorcycle.
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is
stabilised and adequately supported. This will help
prevent it from falling and causing injury to the
operator or damage to the motorcycle.
Checking headstock bearing adjustment
and 'rock' with a front-to-rear motion. If free play
can be detected, the headstock bearings require
adjustment.
Adjustment
1.
Raise and support the front of the motorcycle.
2.
Slacken the top yoke clamp bolts.
I
If the lower yoke fixings are also slackened, the
I
forks will no longer support the weight of the
motorcycle.
Do not slacken the lower yoke fixings as, in this
condition, the motorcycle could topple over causing
damage
and/or risk of injury.
