7. Check that the O-ring (9) 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 123),
tighten the fork damper to the specified
torque:
Actual:
25 lbf·ft (34 N·m, 3.5 kgf·m)
Torque wrench scale reading:
23 lbf·ft (31 N·m, 3.2 kgf·m), using a 20 in
(50 cm) long torque wrench.
When using the lock nut wrench, use a 20 in (50
cm) long deflecting beam type torque 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.
