The fork oil quantity must be adjusted equally on both
fork legs to provide equal performance.
Scratches or other damage on the inner tube or on the
oil seal lip will cause oil leak.
Avoid scratching or damaging the inner tube or the oil
seal. Use a mild detergent or car wash soap and
sponge out dirt with plenty of water.

rag when using a vise. (!18-5)
