Overhaul

Removing damper

- Remove screw 1 fixing the screw to the stem and
remove the stanchion heating it if necessary with
the specified heater, then remove sealing ring 2
and seeger 3.
- Using nut 4, remove the spring stem and bushing.
The damper is an integral part of the stem and
cannot therefore be overhauled, so if you need to
work on the damper (loss of fork oil), carry out the
operations mentioned above and replace the
shock absorber-stem unit.
When refitting, tighten to the prescribed torque and
apply the recommended grease to the threadlock
nut.
