• After an accident make sure the fork is not bent.
See sizes in drawing fig. 143.
• Ensure the dust guard on the fork covers are not
cracked .
• Check jf the circlip is still efficient.
• Ensure the seals on the bottom covers are not
crumbled or excessively hardened.
• Check if the plastic ring on the damper rod is
crushed or crumbled.
• Check if both dampers are equally loaded. If not.
replace them.
• Check if the threaded portion of the fork tube and

• Ensure the steering bearings are still in good
stale. If not, replace.
Re-assembllng the dampers with rods and springs
the fork covers (fig. 147)
• Ensure that the Iwo slots on the inner pawls are
a proper fil (on bush "A») and that the outer pawl
"8,, of this bushing is a proper fit into the inner slot
of leg cover "C'"
To ensure if they are properly inserted (after filling
the damper assembly on the cover «G»), it is neces-
sary to gently turn the leg cover to the right or left
(see arrow .. 0» until the pawls are heard to click

washer " E" on the bottom end of the cover to secure
the damper rod-spring-nul assembly on the cover
itself.
Re-assembllng the fork and refitting it on the

±
1.5 (13.22")
B When compressed to 327.5 mm (12.893" ). Should
give a load of 8 kg ± 3% (16.3Ibs).
C When compressed to 239 mm (9.40") should gi-
ve a load of 90.7 kg ± 3% (199.993 Ibs) .
o When compressed to 219 kg (8.62") should give
a load 01109,5
±
3% kg . (231 Ibs).
Check fork sizes against drawing fig. 144.
Ensure the voltmeter and clock are In good condi-
tions.
