4. After filling, pump the damper assembly 1
slowly up and down (about 200 mm (7.9 in)
stroke) several times to bleed the damper
assembly of air.
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 2 to
4.
5. Inspect:
9Oil amount
While keeping the damper assembly fully
stretched, check that the oil is above the
step aon the damper assembly.
Below the stepReplenish fork oil above
the step.
6. Tighten:
9Locknut 1
NOTE:
Fully finger tighten the locknut onto the
damper assembly.
7. Loosen:
9Compression damping adjuster 1
NOTE:
9Loosen the compression damping adjuster fin-
ger tight.
9Record the set position of the adjuster (the
amount of turning out the fully turned in posi-
tion).
8. Install:
9Base valve 1
To damper assembly 2.
NOTE:
First bring the damper rod pressure to a maxi-
mum. Then install the base valve while releas-
ing the damper rod pressure.
