intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Securely support the motorcycle so
that there is no danger of it falling
over.
1. Place the vehicle flat and upright
from.
2. Check the inner tubes for scratches,

When damage to the fork, please
contact your dealer.

If you treat the telescopic fork
with cleaning agents, make sure
that they get no contact with the
tires or the brakes. This can lead
to dangerous accidents.

cause danger. Therefore, the

1. Place the vehicle on the center
stand/suitable motorcycle stand to
raise the front wheel off the ground.
