FRONT FORK

GENERAL
The front fork consists of two telescoping outer tube/inner
slider assemblies. Each assembly has an internal compres-
sion spring which supports the forward weight of the vehicle
and rider. The compression spring extends and retracts to
cushion the ride over rough or irregular road surfaces. An oil
filled damping mechanism controls the telescoping action of
each tube/slider assembly.
