FRONT FORK
EC556000
HANDLING NOTE
NOTE:
The front fork requires careful attention. So it is
recommended that the front fork be maintained
at the dealers.
CAUTION:
To prevent an accidental explosion of air,
the following
observed:
• The front fork with a built-in piston rod has
a very sophisticated internal construction
and is particularly sensitive to foreign
material.
Use enough care not to allow any foreign
material to come in when the oil is replaced
or when the front fork is disassembled and
reassembled.
• Before removing the cap bolts or front
forks, be sure to extract the air from the
air chamber completely.
