REPLACING AIR VALVE
FIG. 15
This operation can be performed when fork
is fully assembled and fitted on bike, but
only after draining inner pressure.
If the air valve is disassembled with the fork
removed, keep the fork vertical so as to
avoid any oil leakage.
Remove protection cap
(21)
(only RH fork
leg) and remove air valve
(39)
and O-ring
(40)
from the cap, with a standard valve
wrench.
Check O-Ring and blow compressed air
onto valve to eliminate possible clogging.
Immediately replace the valve if it is dam-
aged.
When reassembling, slightly lubricate the
O-ring
(40)
and screw the air valve
(39)
until it stops without forcing. Then, refit the
cap
(21)
.
