Dismantling the Forks
1.
Remove the fork legs from the motorcycle.
Put the fork legs in upright position for
about 5 minutes to allow the oil to settle.
2.
Fasten the fork leg in a vice. Use soft jaws.
3.
Unload the spring pre-load completely
by turning the adjustment nut counter
clockwise as far as possible. Use a 17 mm
wrench or socket.
4.
Loosen the top nut assembly. Use tool
797-04.
5.
Remove the top nut assembly from the
piston shaft. Use a 17 mm wrench to the
top and tool 4705-01 to hold the nut on the
lower side of the top nut.
6.
Remove the adjustment driver and the
spring. Use a wire with a hook and care-
fully pull out the preload tube.
7.
Remove the screw and o-ring from the
reservoir end cap.
NOTE!
Before the gas pressure is relieved the
adjuster settings must be counted and
noted. Even check that the gas pressure is
correct. Follow that, the adjusters should
be set in a fully open position.

Relieve the nitrogen gas by inserting an
injection needle into the reservoir end cap
through the rubber valve.
