INSPECTION
Damper assembly
1. Inspect:
• Damper assembly 1
Bend/damage → Replace.
• O-ring 2

CAUTION:
The front fork with a built-in piston rod has
a very sophisticated internal construction
and is particularly sensitive to foreign
material.
Use enough care not to allow any foreign
material to come in when the oil is replaced
or when the front fork is disassembled and
reassembled.
