Air Pressure
You can adjust the air pressure to suit the
load or load surface. For accurate pressure
readings, check and adjust air pressure
before riding (when the fork tubes are cold),
with the front wheel off the ground.
1. Raise the front wheel off the ground by a
support block under the engine.
2. Remove the air valve caps.
Check the air pressure using the pressure
gauge.
3. If air pressure is insufficient, add air with
a bicycle air pump. Do not exceed the
maximum recommended air pressure. To
decrease air pressure, depress the valve
core.
Some pressure will be lost when using
the gauge. Determine the amount of loss
and compensate accordingly Also, be
sure that the air pressure in both fork
tubes in equal.
a
Do not add a lot of air pressure at one
time
. Fork action becomes very stiff if
more than the recommended pressure
is used.
4. Install the air valve caps.
Standard air pressure:
0 psi (0 kPa, 0 kgf·cm

)
Maximum air pressure:
6 psi (40 kPa, 0.4 kgf·cm

)
