Oil Replacement - Yamaha TT600RE 2004 Service Manual

FRONT FORK

OIL REPLACEMENT

NOTE:
The quality of the fork oil is of fundamental impor-
tance for obtaining the maximum performance
and functioning. For this reason it needs to be
replaced after the first 3÷4 hours to eliminate any
residues due to the adaptation of the internal
components and successively every 8 hours for
motor-cross and every 20 hours for enduro.
CAUTION:
Using oil with different technical specifica-
tions will compromise the good efficiency of
the fork.
1. Generally clean the front fork.
2. Loosen:
•
Cap bolt (inner tube)
3. Remove:
•
Fork leg
4. Unscrew:
•
Cap bolt (1) (completely)
NOTE:
Place the components in a clean area.
5. Withdraw:
•
Seat (2)
•
Spacer (3)
•
Spring (4) (from the inner tube (5))
NOTE:
The spring, being immersed in oil could cause oil
to drip onto the work surface when withdrawn. It
is advisable therefore to withdraw it slowly and to
dry it with a clean cloth.
6. Pour the oil into a tray whilst at the same time
moving the inner tube (1) backwards and for-
wards.
CAUTION:
In order not to cause damage to the environ-
ment collect the used oil and take it to a col-
lection centre.
