Fork oil level (SMR)

For regular fork operation, both legs must be provided with the necessary oil
quantity.
Remove the fork legs from the fork to check the oil level. Work as follows:
- remove the damper rod caps;
- remove springs from the legs letting the oil drain into the legs;
- bring fork to stroke end;
- check that level is at the distance (A) of 100 mm (3.94 in.) from rod upper
limit.
