Servicing Your Honda 89
Suspension
5.
Pour the recommended fork oil (page 88) into
the outer tube.
Fork Oil Capacity:
Standard 26.21 lbf/in (4.59 N/mm) Fork Spring
Optional Softer 25.12 lbf/in (4.40 N/mm) Fork Spring
Optional Stiffer 27.41 lbf/in (4.80 N/mm) Fork Spring
Be sure the oil capacity is the same in both fork
legs.
6.
Check that the O-ring (7) on the fork damper
(2) is in good condition. Apply the
recommended fork oil to the O-ring.
Temporarily install the fork damper to the
outer tube (1).
After installing the fork leg (page 120), tighten
the fork
damper to the specified torque using a
lock nut wrench:
Actual:
25 lbf·ft (34 N·m, 3.5 kgf·m)
Torque wrench scale reading:
23 lbf·ft (31 N·m, 3.2 kgf·m), using a 20 in
(50 cm) long deflecting beam type torque
wrench.
When using the lock nut wrench, use a 20 in (50
cm) long deflecting beam type torque wrench with
a lock nut 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.
