96 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT NOTICE The right and left fork tubes must be adjusted evenly. Air Pressure Adjustment The standard air pressure in the front fork legs is atmospheric (0 kPa, 0 kgf/cm², 0 psi). Air pressure in the fork legs increase with normal use, so the fork action stiffens during operation. Release air pressure from the fork legs prior to each race through the pressure relief screw located in each front fork top plug. Make sure the front forks are fully extended with the front wheel off the ground when releasing the pressure. Raise the front wheel off the ground using a jack (special tool: 57001-1238) and attachment (special tool: 57001-1252 or 1608). Remove the screw on each front fork top plug to let the air pressure equalize. Then, tighten the screws. Tightening Torque Pressure Relief Screws: 1.3 N·m (0.13 kgf·m, 12 in·lb) • • A. Screw B.
