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 lift 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 in 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. Mount handlebar and handlebar clamps, and tighten screws
5
to 20 Nm. The gap between the handlebar support and handlebar clamps
should be the same size in the front and in the rear.
