FRONT FORK
2.16
GENERAL
The XR12Scg model utilizes a 41mm fork assembly while all
other models have changed to the 43mm fork assembly. 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 cush-
ion the ride over rough or irregular road surfaces. An oil filled
damping mechanism controls the telescoping action of each
tube/slider assembly.
