Steering Damper Maintenance - Suzuki GSX1300BK Owner's Manual

STEERING DAMPER
MAINTENANCE
1. Keep the steering damper shaft 1 clean
at all times.
2. Wipe off any oil residue with a cloth.
NOTE:
• Do not confuse the grease-like residue
on the steering damper's shaft with an oil
leak. Collection of this residue is normal
and is from oil seal lubricant used in the
damper.
• You may also notice a sound as the
damper shaft is stroked in and out. This
"escaping air" type sound is normal and
is made as the internal valving damps
the shaft movement.
