FRONT FORKS
| Inspect Every 6 000 km (4 000 miles)
Inspect the front forks for oil leakage, scoring or
scratches on the outer surface of the inner tubes.
Replace any defective parts, if necessary.
AIR PRESSURE SERVICING
e Support the motorcycle by jack or block, and
keep the front wheel off the ground.
e Remove the air valve protection caps and press
the air valve to equalize the fork air pressure
with atmospheric pressure. This must be done
when the forks are cold.
CAUTION:
The maximum permissible air pressure is
250 kPa, 2.5 kg/cm? (35 psi) to avoid fork oil
seal and valve damage.
