CLEANING THE DUST SEAL

NOTE:
After using the motorcycle it is necessary to clean
the dust seal carefully in order to maintain the fork
at maximum efficiency.
In fact, if dust infiltrates to the inside of the dust
seal it can compromise the smoothness and
therefore the sensitivity of the fork, and also
cause the premature wear of the underlying oil
seal.
Just a few simple operations then, guided by the
following indications are necessary to maintain
the optimum functioning of the fork with time.
1. With a screwdriver prise the dust seal (1) from
the oil seal seat (2) and then withdraw it using
force.
2. Using a low pressure jet of compressed air
clean the inside of the dust seal and the oil
seal seat.
3. Insert the edge of a cloth under the lip and
keeping the cloth steady, carefully clean the
lip by rotating the dust seal.
