14. Install a new O-ring (13) on the fork damper
assembly (5). Apply the recommended fork
oil to the O-ring.
15. Pull up the fork assembly (1) slowly and
install the fork damper assembly (5) into the
outer tube.

16. Insert both fork legs into the fork clamps.
Tighten the fork bridge lower pinch bolts (14)
to the specified torque:
15 Ibf·ft (20 N·m, 2.0 kgf·m)
(17) outer tube (18) top bridge
19. Tighten the fork bride lower pinch bolts (14)
to the specified torque:
15 Ibf·ft (20 N·m, 2.0 kgf·m)
20. Tighten the fork bridge upper pinch bolts (19)
to the specified torque:
16 Ibf·ft (22 N·m, 2.2 kgf·m)
Over-tightening the pinch bolts can deform the
outer tubes. Deformed outer tubes must be
replaced.

torque using the lock nut wrench (16).
Actual:
22 lbf·ft (30 N·m, 3.1 kgf·m)
Torque wrench scale reading:
20 Ibf·ft (27 N·m, 2.8 kgf·m), using a 20 in
(50 cm) long deflecting beam type torque
wrench.
• Lock nut wrench 070MA-MEN0100
When using the lock nut wrench, use a 20 in (50
cm) long deflecting beam type torque wrench.
The lock nut wrench increases the torque
wrench’s leverage, so the torque wrench reading
will be less than the torque actually applied to the
fork damper.

18. For ease of releasing air pressure after the
forks are installed, loosen the fork bridge
lower pinch bolts and position the outer tubes
so that the fork air pressure release screws are
in front of the compression damping adjusters.
Align the top of the outer tube (17) with the
top surface of the top bridge (18).
