– Adjust the air pressure as specified.
Guideline
Air pressure 5 bar (73 psi)
Changing of the air pressure
in steps of
0.2 bar (3 psi)
Minimum air pressure 4 bar (58 psi)
Maximum air pressure 8 bar (116 psi)
Info
Never adjust the air pressure to a value outside the
stated range.
– Disconnect the fork pump from the left fork leg.
When disconnecting, excess pressure will escape from the

The fork pump indicator switches off automatically after
80 seconds.
– Mount the protection cap.
Finishing work
– Remove the motorcycle from the lift stand. ( p. 14)
