TIP
Although the total number of clicks of a damping
force adjusting mechanism may not exactly
match the above specifications due to small dif-
ferences in production, the actual number of
clicks always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment, it would
be advisable to check the number of clicks of
each damping force adjusting mechanism and
to modify the specifications as necessary.
Bleeding the front fork
1. Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand.
2. Make sure the front wheel is off the ground
and the area near the bleed screws is clean.
3. Remove:
• Bleed screw “1”
4. Wait a few seconds, and then install the bleed
screws.
