2. Check:
•Inner tube
Scratches/Damage ➔Replace.
•Oil seal
Undue oil leakage ➔Replace.
3. With the motorcycle in a level upright position
operate the front brake.
4. Check:
•Proper functioning
Compress and release the front fork sev-
eral times.
Irregular/jerky functioning ➔Repair.
See section “FRONT FORK” in Chapter 4.
ADJUSTING THE FRONT FORK
This front fork is equipped with spring pre-load ad-
justing bolts.
WARNING0
Always adjust both fork legs equally, other-
wise poor handling and loss of stability may
result.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and thereby hard-
en the suspension, turn the adjusting bolt on each
fork leg in direction a. To decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the suspension, turn
the adjusting bolt on each fork leg in direction b.

REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
This shock absorber contains highly pressur-
ized nitrogen gas. For proper handling, read
and understand the following information
before handling the shock absorber. The man-
ufacturer cannot be held responsible for prop-
erty damage or personal injury that may result
from improper handling.
•Do not tamper with or attempt to open the
gas cylinder.
•Do not subject the shock absorber to an
open flame or other high heat sources,
otherwise it may explode due to excessive
gas pressure.
•Do not deform or damage the gas cylinder
in any way, as this will result in poor damp-
ing performance.
This shock absorber assembly is equipped with a
spring preload adjusting nut.
Never attempt to turn an adjusting mecha-
nism beyond the maximum or minimum set-
tings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the spring preload and thereby
harden the suspension, turn the adjusting nut
in direction a. To decrease the spring preload
and thereby soften the suspension, turn the
adjusting nut in direction b.
