FRONT SUSPENSION

The front suspension, featuring state-of-the-art technology and
design, includes an inverted hydraulic fork with 32mm-diameter rods.
Each rod has its own purpose and effect, as, whilst one of them acts
mechanically through compression springs, the other one only
operates hydraulically.
Oil supply per rod
- Right-hand fork...175 cc.
- Left-hand fork.....150 cc.
Hydraulic oil SAE 5

The rear suspension, which is of the
swivelling type and features a hydraulic
shock absorber, requires no more
attention than checking its wear and
the play on the swivelling arm. Should
the silent blocks securing the shock
absorber loose their shape, for any
reason whatsoever, replace the shock
absorber to prevent damaging the
chassis geometry.
