OIL FORK LEVEL
For the regular fork operation, both legs must be provided
with the necessary oil quantity. Remove the forkrods form the
fork to check the oil level inside the forkrods. Work as follows:
- remove the power rod caps;
- remove springs from the stems letting the oil drop into the
latter;
- bring forks to stroke end;
- check that the level is at distance "A" below the upper limit
of rods.
OIL QUANTITY IN EACH FORK LEG
- TE: 725 cm 3
(44.2 cu. in.)
- SMR: 740 cm 3
(45.1 cu. in.)
A=100mm (3.94 in.) - SMR
A=120mm (4.72 in.) - TE

NOTE
Flexibility index for the serial springs:
K=4,8 N/mm (TE)
K=5 N/mm (SMR)
NOTE
Always replace both the spring and the spacers to keep the
preload value unchanged.
