Front fork bleedingWhen riding in extremely rough condi-
tions, the air temperature and pressure
in the front fork will rise and harden the
suspension. If this occurs, bleed the air
from each fork leg.
WARNING
EWA10201
Always bleed both fork legs, other-
wise poor handling and loss of sta-
bility may result.1. If possible, elevate the vehicle so
the front wheel is off the ground.
(See page 6-34.)TIPWhen bleeding the front fork, do not
apply any pressure or weight on the
front end of the vehicle.2. Remove the bleed screws and al-
low all of the air to escape from
each fork leg.3. Install the bleed screws.
4. Lower the front wheel so that it is
on the ground, and then put the
sidestand down.
