FRONT SUSPENSION

The front suspension is managed by a hydraulic fork, which
is held to the steering stem by two yokes.
NOTE Vehicle set-up may not be modified.
Inspect front suspension after the first 1000km (621 mi), and
then every 6000 km (3728 mi) or 8 months.
Change front fork oil every 12000 km (7456 mi) or 16
months.
Check as follows:
•
Keep the front brake lever squeezed in and press
down repeatedly on the handlebars to compress the
front fork. The front fork should compress in a smooth
motion. Inspect the fork legs for any traces of oil.
If the front fork has a tendency to bottom out, change oil; see
7.8.4. and 7.8.5.
Check the front fork for oil leaks and inspect the surface of
the fork legs for cracks or scoring.
Any damaged components should be repaired or – where
repair is not feasible – renewed; see
•
Ensure that all parts are properly tightened and test the
front suspension for proper operation.
