Servicing Your Honda 85
Suspension
5. Pour the recommended fork oil (page 84) into
the outer tube.
Be sure the oil capacity is the same in both fork
legs.
6. Check taht the O-ring (9) on the fork damper
(2) is in good condition. Apply the
recommended fork oil to the O-ring.
7. Temporarily install the fork damper (2) to the
outer tube (1).
After installing the fork leg (page 117), tighten
the fork damper to the specified torque:
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. 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.
