CHASFRONT FORK
13. Check:
Inner tube smooth movement
Tightness/binding/rough spots →
Repeat the steps 2 to 12.
14. Compress the front fork fully.
15. Fill:
Front fork oil
Until outer tube top surface with recom-
mended fork oil 1.
CAUTION:
Be sure to use recommended fork oil. If
other oils are used, they may have an
excessively adverse effect on the front
fork performance.
Never allow foreign materials to enter the
front fork.
Recommended oil:
Suspension oil “01”
16. After filling, pump the damper rod 1
slowly up and down more than 10 times
to distribute the fork oil.
17. Fill:
Front fork oil
Until outer tube top surface with recom-
mended fork oil once more.
18. After filling, pump the outer tube 1 slowly
up and down (about 200 mm (7.9 in)
stroke) to distribute the fork oil once
more.
NOTE:
Be careful not to excessive full stroke. A stroke
of 200 mm (7.9 in) or more will cause air to
enter. In this case, repeat the steps 15 to 18.

CHASFRONT FORK
19. Wait ten minutes until the air bubbles
have been removed from the front fork,
and the oil has dispense evenly in system
before setting recommended oil level.
NOTE:
Fill with the fork oil up to the top end of the
outer tube, or the fork oil will not spread over to
every part of the front forks, thus making it
impossible to obtain the correct level.
Be sure to fill with the fork oil up to the top of
the outer tube and bleed the front forks.
20. Measure:
Oil level (left and right) a
Out of specification → Adjust.
* For EUROPE, AUS, NZ and ZA
NOTE:
Be sure to install the spring guide 2 when
checking the oil level.
WARNING
Never fail to make the oil level adjustment
between the maximum and minimum level
and always adjust each front fork to the
same setting. Uneven adjustment can
cause poor handling and loss of stability.
Standard oil level:
125 mm (4.92 in)
* 130 mm (5.12 in)
Extent of adjustment:
80 ~ 150 mm (3.15 ~ 5.91 in)
From top of outer tube with
inner tube and damper rod 1
fully compressed without
spring.
