10.After filling, pump the inner tube slowly
up and down (about 150 mm (5.90 in)) to
distribute the fork oil once more.

A stroke of 150 mm (5.90 in) or more will
cause air to enter. In this case, repeat the
steps 8 to 9.

have dispersed from the front fork, and
the oil has been distributed evenly in the

oil level.
NOTE:

tube to ensure that it spreads to all its parts.
Failing to do so will make it impossible to
obtain the correct level.
Be sure to bleed the front forks after filling
them with oil.
