ADJUSTING THE FRONT FORK

a) REBOUND (TOP ADJUSTER)
Standard setting: - 12 clicks.
To reset standard calibration, turn adjuster (C)
clockwise to reach the fully closed position; then,
turn it back by the mentioned clicks. In order to
obtain a smooth braking action, turn the adjuster
counter clockwise. Vice versa to obtain a harder
braking action.
b) AIR VENT (to carry out after each competition, or
monthly).
Set the motorcycle on a central stand, release the
fork fully extended and loosen the air vent valve (D).
Once this operation is over, tighten the valve.
Note*: Never force the adjusting screws beyond
the maximum open and closed positions.

FORK OIL LEVEL
For regular fork operation, both legs must be pro-
vided with the necessary oil quantity. Remove the
fork legs from the fork to check the oil level. Work
as follows:
- remove the damper rod caps;
- remove springs from the legs letting the oil drain
into the legs;
- bring fork to stroke end;
- check that the level is at distance "A" below the
upper limit of damper rod.
OIL QUANTITY IN EACH FORK LEG
- RS: 38.44 cu.in.
- SM: 36.61 cu.in.
A=80mm (3.15 in.) - RS
C
A=90mm (3.54 in.) - SM
D
Note*:
Flexibility index of the standard springs:
K = 28.55 lb/in. (RS)
K = 30.83 lb/in. (SM)
Note*:
Always replace both the spring and the spacers to
keep the preload value unchanged.
