Front Suspension Adjustments
(cont’d)
Adjustments for Competition 123
13. Insert both fork legs into the fork clamps.
Tighten the fork bridge lower pinch bolts (10)
to the specified torque:
15 lbf·ft (20 N·m, 2.0 kgf·m)
14. Tighten the fork damper (11) to the specified
torque using the lock nut wrench (12).
Actual:
22 lbf·ft (30 N·m, 3.1 kgf·m)
Torque wrench scale reading:
20 lbf·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.
15. Tighten the fork cap (13) to the specified
torque using the open end wrench (14) and the
lock nut wrench (12).
Specified torque:
21 lbf·ft (28 N·m, 2.9 kgf·m)
16. Apply air pressure of 44 psi (300 kPa, 3.1 kgf/
cm
2
) to the fork assembly and check that there
is no air leakage.
If there is no air leakage, adjust the air pressure
to specification.
Specified air pressure:
33 psi (230 kPa, 2.3 kgf/cm
2
)
17. Measure the length between the axle holder
and outer tube.
Standard:
12.44 ± 0.08 in (316.0 ± 2.0 mm)
