3880160 -T0301 - Fork Oil Filler/Evacuator 1.
Adjustment plate 2.
Scale area 3.
Hole (zero position) 4.
Note
Zero level on the tool is set at the small exit hole in the side of the scale tube, NOT AT THE END TIP.
Do not attempt to block this side hole as this will cause the final fluid level to be incorrect.
Insert the scale end of the tool into the fork inner tube. 5.
Hold the tool adjuster plate level with the upper surface of the fork outer tube and draw fluid into the syringe
until fluid flow ceases (empty the syringe if the body becomes full before fluid flow stops). 6.
The fluid level in the fork is now set to the height set on the tool scale. Check the tool scale setting and
repeat the process if incorrectly set. 7.
WARNING
Incorrect fork oil levels could result in an unsafe riding condition leading to loss of control and an accident.
Assemble the fork (see Front Fork - Assembly). 8.
Refit the fork (see Front Fork - Installation). 9.

Front Fork - Disassembly
WARNING
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported. This will help prevent it
from falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
WARNING
If the damping cylinder is to be removed, we recommend that one fork is disassembled and assembled prior
to starting work on the other. The damping cylinder in the left hand fork is for compression damping while the
damping cylinder in the right hand fork is for rebound damping. Should these damping components get fitted
to the wrong fork, the front suspension will not function correctly and may lead to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Turn the ignition on and note the instrument TSAS mode and damping setting so that the system can be
restored to its original setting upon re-assembly.
Set the TSAS damping to its softest (comfort) setting as described in the Owner’s Handbook.
Note
When removing the forks, ensure the top cap is loosened as described in Front Fork - Removal.
The fork seals can be renewed without removal of the damping cylinder. Unless removal of the
damping cylinder is necessary, omit step 24 of this procedure.
If the damping cylinder is to be removed, ensure the lower damping cylinder bolt is loosened as
