Pull up the outer tube [1] slowly and temporarily tighten
the fork damper [2] using the special tool.
TOOL:
Lock nut wrench, 50 mm [3] 07WMA-KZ30100
Install the front fork 2-73.

FRONT FORK INSTALLATION
When the fork damper is removed, perform the following
procedure:
Over-tightening the fork bottom bridge pinch bolts can
deform the outer tube. A deformed outer tube must be
replaced.
1. Install the fork leg [1] and align the fork outer tube
lower index line with the top surface of the top bridge.
Position the fork leg in the direction as shown.

2. Tighten the fork bottom bridge pinch bolts [1].
TORQUE: 20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m, 15 lbf·ft)
3. When the fork damper is removed, tighten the fork
damper [1] to the specified torque using the special
tool.
TOOL:
Lock nut wrench, 50 mm [2] 07WMA-KZ30100
TORQUE:
Actual:
76 N·m (7.7 kgf·m, 56 lbf·ft)
Indicated: 69 N·m (7.0 kgf·m, 51 lbf·ft)
• When using the lock nut wrench, use a 500 mm (20.0
in) 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. The
specification given on this page is actual torque
applied to the fork damper, not the reading on the
torque wrench when used with the lock nut wrench.
