Front Fork Fluid Change
To the telescopic type cushion,
side
pressure
is applied to the front
and
rear directions during
driving
in addition to the
vertical
vibration, and
accordingly,
the
oil
is
contaminated
by fine
metal
pouder created by initial wear ; thus, it is desira-
ble to replace after the first 500 km {300 miles)
Following this second fluid change, fluid is changed
every 5, 000
km
(3, 1 00 mile!.
a.

and
drain plug,

290
cc
{ 1. 7 8
cu-in) of corrosion resistant
oil
into each
shock absorber oil.

causes
chain
knock
during driving;
and if too tight, the chain
offers resistance and sufficient power is not trans-
mitted to the rear wheel.
The
drive
chain should
be
tightened properly.
a.
The maximum slackness when measured by
