FRONT SUSPENSION
Braking down the pumping element and the bottom valve
This operation must be done only after having drained all of the oil out of
the fork leg .
• Clamp the wheel axle clamp in the vice.
• Insert the R5081AA tooling inside the fork leg in a way that you can block the
body rotation; to do so, the slot obtained at the tooling lower edge must be
perfectly inserted into the body hexagon.
In the tooling upper part there are two opposite holes where you can
insert an axle to make the blocking easier. However, the tooling must not
be rotated in any case, but only used to hold the fork leg inner parts .
• Using the 21 mm tube wrench unscrew the bottom valve ( 41 ).
• Remove the bottom valve set ( 41 ).
• Take off the damping set ( 21 ) from the stanchion tube ( 5 ).
• Unscrew and remove the locknut ( 23 ) and take off the guide spring ( 24 ).
