FRONT SUSPENSION
Braking down the fork leg – slider and removing the oil seals
• Remove the dust seal ( 12 ) from its seat, using a small flat- tip screwdriver.
• With the same screwdriver remove the metal stop ring ( 11 ).
• Pull the stanchion tube ( 6 ) out of the slider ( 13 ); to separate these two
elements you will have to pull hard. With this operation the oil seal ( 10 ), the
spring cup ( 9 ) and the bottom guide bushing ( 8 ) will be removed from the
slider.
• Remove the top guide bushing ( 39 ) by hand. If this operation is difficult by
hand, use a flat-tip screwdriver in the bushing groove.
• Remove the bottom guide bushing ( 8 ), the spring cup ( 9 ), the oil seal ( 10
), the stop ring ( 11 ) and the dust seal ( 12 ) from the stanchion tube.
The old oil seals and dust seals must not be used again.
Paragraph 4.9 describes the procedure for assembling the seal ele-
ments and re-assembling the fork leg -slider.
