8. Extend the fork damper piston rod to
maximum. Adjust the oil level of the fork
damper (2) as shown.
Oil Level: 1.65 – 1.85 in (42 – 47 mm)
9. Apply fork oil to the bushing (5) and new O-
rings (6) on the fork cap assembly (1). Extend
the fork damper piston rod to maximum,
holding it, install the fork cap assembly to the
fork damper (2).
Be careful not to damage the fork cap bushing.
If it is difficult to install the fork cap assembly, the
fork damper oil level might be higher than standard
oil level. Inspect the fork damper oil level again.
10. Place the fork damper (2) in a vise with a piece
of wood or soft jaws to avoid damage. Tighten
the fork cap assembly (1) while holding the cut
out of the fork damper using the lock nut
wrench (3) to the specified torque:
22 Ibf·ft (30 N·m, 3.1 kgf·m)
11. Hold the fork damper (2) in an upright position
and pump the fork damper piston rod (4) to 3.9
in (100 mm) slowly several times.
12. Screw in the lock nut (7) to the fork damper
piston rod (4) fully.
Turn the rebound adjuster and compression
adjuster counterclockwise to the softest position.
Check the fork damper piston rod sliding surface
for damage.
Apply fork oil to the fork damper piston rod sliding
surface.
Cover the fork damper piston rod end with soft
jaws to prevent fork damage.
