FRONT FORK
EC556000
HANDLING NOTE
NOTE:
The front fork requires careful attention. So it is
recommended that the front fork be main-
tained at the dealers.
CAUTION:
To prevent an accidental explosion of air,
the following
observed:
The front fork with a built-in piston rod
G
has a very sophisticated internal con-
struction 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 disas-
sembled and reassembled.
Before removing the cap bolts or front
G
forks, be sure to extract the air from the
air chamber completely.
