Fo*s. There is no
adjustment
provided
for the telescopic
forks and the only maintenance
likely to
be requircd,
apart from the routine
check on the tightness of
nuts and
bolts, is
attention to the oil level in the
hydraulic damping
system. If,
after considerable mileåge,
the forks
appear
to develop excessive
up and down movement,
it may
be an indication
that
the
oil supply rcquircs
replenishing.
To do this remove
the
large
hexagor
headed cap A
(Fig.

at the top of each
fork leg and also the
small drain
plugs
shown in Fig.
