FORK ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES:
CAUTION:
Make sure all components are clean before assembly.
CAUTION:
Be sure to apply oil to the new fork seal and other components before installing.
1. Slide dust seal (swiper) (#6) onto lower fork leg.
2. Slide retaining ring (#5) onto lower fork leg.
3. CAREFULLY slide seal (#4) onto lower fork leg with spring facing away from
snap ring.
CAUTION:
It is helpful to cover the sharp corners of the fork leg with tape or thin plastic
before sliding on the new seal. Also take care that the inner lip is not folded over
when installing.
4. Slide bushing (#3) onto lower fork leg.
5. Install the glide ring into groove on lower fork leg.
6. Slide the bushing over the glide ring about 1/4" to hold the glide ring in the
groove.
7. Insert the lower leg assembly into the upper fork tube about 5-6".
8. Use a seal driver to drive the seal into the upper tube.
9. Install the retaining ring. Make sure it is properly seated in the groove.
10. Snap the dust seal (swiper) into the groove in the upper tube.
11. Reinstall the damper cartridge assembly to the fork leg. Secure the large bolt
with 22 mm wrench to 35 ft-lb with green thread locking agent.
12. Fill with 3.6 oz (107 ml) 2.5 wt fork oil should measure 6 mm (0.25”) above
the damper cartridge tube with spring removed. (This oil volume works out to
leave an oil height of 120mm from top of outer tube with forks collapsed,
damper rod down, and spring removed).
