Front fork bleeding
When riding in extremely rough condi-
tions, the air temperature and pressure
in the front fork will rise. This will in-
crease the spring preload and harden
the front suspension. If this occurs,
bleed the air from each front fork leg.
EWA10201
Always bleed both fork legs, other-
wise poor handling and loss of sta-
bility may result.
To bleed the front fork legs

the ground and the area near the

stall the bleed screws.
