Front fork inspection
Carefully inspect each fork leg for signs of damage and wear. This
may be in the form of scratches or pitting to the fork leg surface.
Check there are no oil leakages from the fork oil seals. If any damage
is found, please contact the Maeving Maeving Workshop Team,
a Maeving Workshop Partner or a qualified person or business
with an extensive technical knowledge of motorcycles. For further
information, see Contacts on page 6.
To check the forks operate smoothly:
1. Make sure that the motorcycle is positioned on a level, firm
surface.
2. Whilst holding onto the handlebars, apply the front brake and
pump the front forks up and down several times.
3. Fork travel should be smooth, without sticking in any position,
and automatically returning to their normal height.
WARNING: If fork travel is not smooth, it can adversely aect
the stability and handling of the motorcycle and may result in
an accident, causing injury or death.
4. Check the fork chrome for signs of rust and pitting.
5. Finally, inspect the fork leg for any signs of oil leakage around
the fork seals.
WARNING: An oil leak from a fork leg seal can adversely
aect the stability and handling of the motorcycle and may
result in an accident, causing injury or death.

riding conditions. This provides a comfortable ride with good handling
characteristics for general road riding conditions.

wear. This may be in the form of scratches or pitting to the shock
