6. Check that the O-ring (7) on the fork damper
(2) is in good condition. Apply the
recommended fork oil to the O-ring.
Temporarily install the fork damper to the
outer tube (1).
After installing the fork leg (page 120), tighten
the fork damper to the specified torque using a
lock nut wrench:
Actual:
34 N·m (3.5 kgf·m, 25 lbf·ft)
Torque wrench scale reading:
31 N·m (3.2 kgf·m, 23 lbf·ft), using a 50 cm
(20 in) long deflecting beam type torque
wrench.
When using the lock nut wrench, use a 50 cm (20
in) long deflecting beam type torque wrench with
a lock nut 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.
