Suspension
The front suspension is made up of a fork that fixes the wheel and
the front brake system in place. This fork is formed by the suspen-
sion bars that contain the shock absorber spring and the suspension
mechanism. They are connected to the upper part where the di-
rection pipe is located, a point of connection between the fork and
the chassis. A regulating screw and an air bleed are located on the
upper part of each suspension bar (see photo).
A
To regulate the extension, use the screw located on the right sus-
pension bar (Fig. A)
To regulate the compression use the screw located on the left sus-
pension bar (Fig. B)
Each of the suspension bars also has an air bleed to remove air that
accumulates in the inside of the fork stanchion (Fig. C)
The fork contains oil SAE 5, with 230 cc in the left bar (C)
and 130 cc in the right bar (R).
