Front Suspension Adjustments
(cont’d)
Adjustments for Competition 117
14. Install a new O-ring (12) on the fork damper
assembly (4). Apply the recommended fork oil
to the O-ring.
15. Pull up the outer tube/slider (1) slowly and
install the fork damper assembly (4) into the
outer tube.
16. Insert both fork legs into the fork clamps.
Tighten the fork lower pinch bolts (13) to the
specified torque.
15 Ibf·ft (20 N·m, 2.0 kgf·m)
17. Tighten the fork damper assembly (4) to the
specified torque using the lock nut wrench
(14).
Actual:
25 Ibf·ft (34 N·m, 3.5 kgf·m)
Torque wrench scale reading:
23 Ibf·ft (31 N·m, 3.2 kgf·m), using a 20 in
(50 cm) long torque wrench.
• Lock nut wrench 07WMA-KZ30100
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 lower pinch bolts and
position the outer tubes so that the pressure
release screws are in front of the rebound
damping adjusters.
Align (15) the top surface of the upper fork
clamp (16) with the outer tube (1) upper
surface as shown.
19. Tighten the fork lower pinch bolts (13) to the
specified torque:
15 Ibf·ft (20 N·m, 2.0 kgf·m)
20. Tighten the fork upper pinch bolts (17) to the
specified torque:
16 Ibf·ft (22 N·m, 2.2 kgf·m)
NOTICE
Over-tightening the pinch bolts can deform the
outer tubes. Deformed outer tubes must be
replaced.
