Suspension
The suspension subsystem includes the forks, the rear shock absorber, and the swingarm.
Forks
The front forks of this motorcycle are a hydraulic spring design. When the front wheel travels over
irregularities in the road and moves up, damping oil inside the forks flows through tiny openings. This
provides damping.
Check the performance of the forks and inspect for leaks. Prompt inspection and maintenance should
be given to the forks when any abnormalities are found.
If you wish to use a higher viscosity fork oil to stiffen the forks, please call CSC at 909 445 0900 to discuss
which oil will best meet your needs.
Changing Fork Oil and Replacing Fork Seal
Support the motorcycle such that the front wheel is off the ground.
Warning! Make sure the motorcycle is adequately supported. If it is not, it could tip over, injuring you
and damaging the motorcycle.
Remove the front wheel (please see the Front Wheel
Removal section of this Owner’s and Service Manual for
instructions on front wheel removal).
Remove the fender mounting bolts on the on the side of the
motorcycle from which the fork leg will be removed.
