The washers (46) and the piston (45) are the ones causing the compression
braking. It is possible, if needed, to modify the fork's behaviour during the
3
compression phase, by replacing the washers (46) and the piston (45) with
other components having different characteristics.

RE- ASSEMBLING THE FORK LEG – SLIDER AND OIL SEALS
The old oil seals and dust seals must not be used again. Before re-
assembling, check the conditions of the guide bushings; replace them if they
are scratched or grooved. Check the Teflon coating of the guide bushings
which must be in a good condition.
• Apply some adhesive tape to the end of the stanchion tube so that it covers the seat
of the top bushing.
• Smear the dust seal and the oil seal with some grease.
