FORK OIL LEVEL
For regular fork operation, both legs must be pro-
vided with the necessary oil quantity. Remove the
fork legs from the fork to check the oil level. Work
as follows:
- remove the damper rod caps;
- remove springs from the legs letting the oil drain
into the legs;
- bring fork to stroke end;
- check that the level is at distance "A" below the
C
upper limit of damper rod.
OIL QUANTITY IN EACH FORK LEG

- 39.23 in . (643 cm
- A: 5.51 in. (140 mm)
with fork leg fully compressed and without spring.
Note*:
Standard spring elastic constant:
- K= 8.8 N/mm
Note*:
Always replace both the spring and the spacers to
keep the preload value unchanged.
