Be sure to use recommended fork oil. If
other oils are used, they may have an ex-
cessively adverse effect on the front fork
performance.
9Never allow foreign materials to enter the
front fork.
16. After filling, pump the damper rod 1slowly
up and down more than 10 times to distrib-
ute the fork oil.
17. Fill:
9Front fork oil
Until outer tube top surface with recom-
mended fork oil once more.
18. After filling, pump the outer tube 1slowly
up and down (about 200 mm (7.9 in) stroke)
to distribute the fork oil once more.

Be careful not to excessive full stroke. A stroke
of 200 mm (7.9 in) or more will cause air to en-
ter. In this case, repeat the steps 15 to 18.
