The
operalJng load pressures of these shock abo
sorbers are the folloWing :
• front :
1.5 kglsqcm to 2.5
• rear. 3 kg
sqcm
to 5
To check the pressure It IS
advisable
to use a
pressure gauge havmg a very shon Pipe (better
it any), as the capacity 01
the Pipe
may affect the
pressure eXlsllng Inside the shock absorbers.
To ascertaIn to which eX1ent your pressure gauge
reduces , when laking the measurement,
the
pres-
sure inside the shock absorber it IS suffiCient to
carry oul
two
consecu!tve measurements : the dlf·
ference between the two readings gIVes approxI-
mately the pressUie reduCllon OCCUrring
whenever a measurement is taken
The measurement must be taken With the bike on
the central stand and with cotd shock absorbers:
