Air is usually an unstable gas which does build up pressure
as its worked (usually in the forks). Air pressure acts like a
progressive spring which eects the travel range of the forks.
Meaning, the fork action on your motorcycle will get stier
during a race or long hours on the test track. You need to
relieve the accumulated pressure in the forks by using the
pressure relief screws in the following order:
1. Place the motorcycle on a motorcycle stand.
2. Make sure the front wheel is o the ground, it must
be fully extended.
DO NOTDO NOT remove the relief screw with the front
wheel on the ground.
3. Slowly remove the relief screw by turning it
counter-clock wise.
4. Do this to both le and right forks.
5. Remove the relief screw and check the O-rings are
in good condition. If they are not, they need to be
replaced before your next ride.
6. Once the pressure has been released, install and
tighten the relief screws by turning them clock
wise. Do not over tighten them, just enough to
be snug.
Overtightening will damage the O-rings.
