18. Compare the length (15) at assembly and at
disassembly. They should be the same length.
If the length at assembly is longer than at
disassembly, check the fork center bolt and
fork center bolt lock nut installation.
19. For ease of adjusting air pressure after the
forks are installed, loosen the fork bridge lower
pinch bolts and position the outer tubes so that
the PSF air valves are in front of the
compression damping adjusters.
Align the top of the outer tube (16) with the top
surface of the top bridge (17).
20. Tighten the fork bride lower pinch bolts (10) to
the specified torque:
15 lbf·ft (20 N·m, 2.0 kgf·m)
21. Tighten the fork bridge upper pinch bolts (18)
to the specified torque:
16 lbf·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.
22. Clean the threads of the fork protector socket
bolts (19) and axle holder thoroughly.
Apply locking agent to the bolt threads.
Install the fork protectors (20) and fork
protector socket bolts.
Tighten the fork protector socket bolts to the
specified torque:
5.2 lbf·ft (7.0 N·m, 0.7 kgf·m)
