Installation Preparation
Before commencing with the installation you will need to support the motorcycle with
suitable front and rear stands, ensuring it is on flat, level ground. The front stand should allow the front
wheel to be raised off the floor so it can be removed.
Both fork legs will need to be removed from the motorcycle to perform the installation. It is a good idea to
thoroughly clean the fork legs before proceeding to avoid any contamination later on.
Depending on the amount of use that the fork has had it is recommended to replace the seals and to check
the condition of the bushes. For optimal performance of your fork it is crucial that these are in good condition
and to tolerance. You should also check for any damage to the fork tube coating and if necessary repair or
replace before proceeding any further. Clean the inside of the fork tubes to ensure there is no debris left
inside.
Before removing the fork legs from the yokes loosen the top cap half a turn, this will
make disassembly of the cartridge easier.
NOTE
Do not be tempted to use cheaper and inferior quality seals or bushings as this can
dramatically increase friction in the fork and can even lead to premature wear fork stanchion surface
coatings.
