Bolt [L = 150 mm (5.91 in)] 3
Installation steps:
CAUTION:
Tighten the cylinder head using the rota-
tion angle procedure to obtain uniform
tightening torque.
Wash the threads and contact surfaces of
the bolts, the contact surfaces of the plain
washers, the contact surface of the cylin-
der head, and the threads of the crank-
case.
Apply the molybdenum disulfide grease on
the threads and contact surfaces of the
bolts and on both contact surfaces of the
plain washers.
Install the plain washers and bolts.
Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in
two or three steps in the proper tightening
sequence as shown.

10. After filling, pump the damper assembly 1
slowly up and down more than 10 times to
distribute the fork oil.
11. While protecting the damper assembly 1
with a rag and compressing fully, allow
excessive oil to overflow on the base valve
side.
CAUTION:
Take care not to damage the damper
assembly.
12. Allow the overflowing oil to escape at the
hole a in the damper assembly.
