of the left front fork cylinder unit.
A. Piston Rod
B. Heavy Cloth
C. Pump the piston.
NOTE
Set the compression damping force setting to the
softest. Check the piston rod sliding surface for
damage. Apply fork oil to the piston rod sliding
surface.

unit oil hole.
Blow out the extra oil from the oil hole of the left
front fork cylinder unit with the compressed air
blow to the oil hole.
