plugs

a few turns in order to relieve excess pressure from the inside of
the fork. To do this, place the motorcycle on a stand with the front wheel
lifted off the ground. When riding the motorcycle mainly on street, it will be
enough to have this job performed in the course of the periodical mainten-
ance service.

Cleaning the dust sleeves of the telescopic fork
The dust-protection bellows
2
are to remove dust and coarse dirt particles
from the fork tube. However, after some time, dirt may also get in behind
the dust-protection bellows. If this dirt is not removed, the oil sealing rings
located behind it may start to leak.
Use a screwdriver to lever the dust-protection bellows out of the outer
tubes and slide them downward.
Clean dust-protection bellows, outer tubes, and fork tubes thoroughly, and
oil them thoroughly with silicone spray or engine oil. Then, push dust-pro-
tection bellows into the outer tubes by hand.
How to change the handlebar position
The handlebar position can be readjusted by 22 mm. Thus, you can put the
handlebar to the position that is the most convenient for you. The upper tri-
ple clamp
3
includes 2 bores arranged at a distance of 15 mm (0,6 in) from
one another. The bores at the handlebar support
4
are offset from the cen-
ter by 3.5 mm (0,13 in). Accordingly, you can mount the handlebar in
4 different positions.
For this purpose, remove screws
5
of the handlebar clamps and screws
6
of the handlebar support. Position handlebar support, and tighten screws
6
to 40 Nm (30 ft.lb). Mount handlebar and handlebar clamps, and tighten
screws
5
to 20 Nm (15 ft.lb). The gap between handlebar support and
handlebar clamps is to be of equal size in the front and in the rear.
