Maintenance and inspection
The steering damper is a precision instrument,
with extremely fine tolerances. It is therefore es-
sential that it is maintained in a correct manner.
Maintenance and service should be carried out by
an authorised service center.
NOTE:
After washing the motorcycle wipe clean and
spray with all-round oil.
CAUTION:
Never subject to direct high-pressure cleaning
since water may otherwise penetrate the
damper.
CAUTION:
Ensure that there is no leakage of fluid and
that there is no visible damage to the housing
and mounts.
