OIL REFILLING

- Clamp the lower leg, with a slant of 45°. Insert the
lower M8 screws with a new copper washer, and
tighten it to a torque of 20-25 NM.
- Push the external arm downwards until it reaches
the lower leg and lift up the cartridge carefully and
refill the fork with new oil (use oil for the cartridges
"WP Shock absorbers REZ71 (SAE5)" (Fig. 17-15).
- Move the shaft cartridge slowly up and down so
that it fills up with oil.
Continue to fill until, by pulling upwards, a uniform
resistance can be felt along the entire stroke. At this
point all the air in the cartridge will be bleedt.
- When the cartridge is filled by oil it will be possible
to insert the spring in the cartridge and mount it on the
external arm together with the ring, the pre loading
bushes and the caps.
NOTE: Pour on each stem an amount of oil
equal to 400 cc.
WARNING
During the spring assembly, make sure that the
lower support washer matches correctly on the
hexagon of the cartridge.
If the assembling of the spring is done too quickly
then there is a dangerous possibility that the
washer gets stuck on the sleeve of the hydraulic
stop Fig. 17-16.
