Filling with oil
The R5051AC is available as spare part: if you tighten it on the rod’s edge,
you can make the rod extraction from the inner part of the slide easier.
• Lift the slider completely on the stanchion tube.
• Prepare the quantity of oil to pour into the fork leg (see Table 2 – Oil and
quantity).
OIL AMOUNT FOR EACH STEM:
TE: 725cm3
SMR: 740cm3
• Pour roughly 2/ 3 of the required oil into the slider ( 13 ), then pump the fork
a few times to remove any traces of air.
• Pour the rest of the oil in.
• Lower the slider on the stanchion tube until it reaches the dust seal stop on
the wheel axle clamp.
• Wait a few minutes and check the air volume (see Table 2 - Oil and quantity)
and if necessary rell to the right level.
A lower or higher volume of air, or a type of oil other than the recom-
mended type can change the behaviour of the fork in every phase.
• Lift the slider ( 13 ) on the stanchion tube ( 5 ).
• Insert the adjustment return inner rod ( 31 ).
• Insert the preload tube ( 21 ), the spring ( 25 ) and the guide spring cup
(20).
• Screw the fork cap ( 48 ) down.
• Fully unscrew the adjustment screw ( R ), which corresponds to the open
adjuster.
• Using two 19 mm spanners tighten locknut ( 23 ) on the cap ( 48 ) up to the
required torque (see Table 1 - Tightening torques).
• Lift the slider on the stanchion tube.
• Tighten fork cap ( 48 ) on the slider with the 19 mm spanner to the recom-
mended torque (see Table 1 - Tightening torques).
• Re- establish the correct setting by turning the adjustment screw ( R ) (see
paragraph 5).
