•
Hold the left front fork cylinder unit at the upright
position and slowly pump the piston rod several
times about 100 mm (3.94 in.).
•
Discharge the extra oil off the left front fork cylinder
unit by pumping the piston rod to full stroke.

ton rod when the piston rod is stroked. Ser-
vice carefully because oil flies out from the
oil hole 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.
