When screwing
up
the clamp nut, ease off the
nut
of the fork
bridge coupling holt and screw it
up
only after the clamp nut has
been screwed up, in order to ensure a
tight
fit
of
the
taper
joint in
the traverse.
Dismantling and Assembling the
Front
Fork Shock Absorber
To
dismantle the front fork shock absorber, proceed
as
follows:
using a socket wrench, unscrew the bolt securing
the shock ab-
sorber body and located
at
the lower
part
of the
fo
rk l
eg
end
piece,
remove the shock absorber washer and gasket washer fitted under
the bolt, take out the shock absorber together with the
spring.
Undo
the upper nut
on
the shock absorber r
od
, unscrew lhe upper end pie-
ce from the
spr
in
g.
Remove the spring, screw off the
upper
end
piece
of
the shock absorber tube
and
extract the rod.
Wash
the re-
moved
parts
with kerosene and inspect them. Replace the defective
parts. Re-assemble the front fork shock absorber in
reverse
order.
The axial clearance between the nuts and the upper end piece
of
the
spring
must he within 0.2 and 0.5 mm.
M<1ke
sure
th<1
t
the
pin of
the s
ho
ck
absorber body enters the special hole
of
the fork leg end
piece and the packing aluminium washer, placed under
the
washer
of the boll securing the shock abso
rb
er, fits closely to the
end
piece,
thus ensuring the required air-tightness.
The shock absorber installed
in
the end piece
of
the fork leg must
be
kept
in
a position concentric with the int
erna
l
surface
of the end
piece tube.
Permissible deviation
of
the upper end
of
the shock ab-
sorber tube (concentric
it
y tolerance) must
be
not
greater
than
0.5 mm.

COMPONENT
PAR.TS
Clearances and interferences
for
the
mating
members
are
given
in
Table
II.
The maximum permissible va
lu
es
of
wear and
clearances
in
the
basic
mating
members
are
presented
in
Table
12
.
The front fork has to be repaired
in
case any faults
are
detected
rendering impossible the further
usage
of
the fork, and
also
in
the
case
of
a total disassembly or reconditioning
of
the e
ntir
e motor-
cycle.
Inspect a
ll
the component
parts
and
mating
surfaces. Check
the
following:
front fender and
casings
for the absence
of
cracks and mechani-
cal damage; eliminate the detected faults and,
if
necessary, paint the
repaired surfaces;
traver
se and bridge for the absence
of
cracks, breaks
or
bending
(replace
the defective
parts);
fork leg bushings for the absence
of
cracks, chipped surfaces,
wear of friction su
rf
aces, etc.;
