FRONT FORK 2.16
GENERAL
The 43mm front fork consists of two telescoping outer tube/
inner slider assemblies. Each assembly has an internal com-
pression spring which supports the forward weight of the
vehicle and rider. The compression spring extends and
retracts to cushion the ride over rough or irregular road sur-
faces. An oil filled damping mechanism controls the telescop-
ing action of each tube/slider assembly.
See 1.12 SUSPENSION DAMPING ADJUSTMENTS for
more information.
