FRONT FORK 2.17
GENERAL
See Figure 2-63. The front fork consists of two telescoping
outer tube/inner slider assemblies. Each assembly has an
internal compression spring which supports the forward
weight of the vehicle and rider.
The compression spring extends and retracts to cushion the
ride over rough or irregular road surfaces. An oil filled damp-
ing mechanism controls the telescoping action of each tube/
slider assembly.
