Front Suspension Installation
1. Insert both fork legs into the fork clamps.
Tighten the fork bridge lower pinch bolts (1) to
the specified torque:
15 lbf·ft (20 N·m, 2.0 kgf·m)
(1) fork bridge lower pinch bolts
2. Tighten the fork damper assembly (2) to the
specified torque using the lock nut wrench (3):
Actual:
56 lbf·ft (76 N·m, 7.7 kgf·m)
Torque wrench scale reading:
51 lbf·ft (69 N·m, 7.0 kgf·m), using a 20 in
(500 mm) long deflecting beam type torque
wrench.
• Lock nut wrench
When using the lock nut wrench, use a 20 in (500
(1)
mm) long deflecting beam type torque wrench.
The lock nut wrench increases the torque wrench's
leverage, so the torque wrench reading will be less
than the torque actually applied to the fork damper
assembly.
3. Tighten the fork bolt assembly (4) to the
specified torque:
22 lbf·ft (30 N·m, 3.1 kgf·m)

4. For ease of releasing air pressure after the fork
legs are installed, loosen the fork bridge lower
pinch bolts (1) and position the outer tubes so
that the fork air pressure release screw (5) is in
front of the compression damping adjuster (6).
