Before proceeding with the replacement of the fork springs, it is necessary to check the oil level inside
the stem.
Then you have to gently remove the spring, trying to lose as less oil as possible and perform the
measurement indicated in the image.
If necessary, restore the oil level. Is recommended to use the specific fork oil: (MOTUL FORK OIL
EXPERT 15W Medium/Heavy).
