HANDLING NOTE

NOTE:

The front fork requires careful attention. So it is recommended that the front fork be maintained at the dealers.

CAUTION:

To prevent an accidental explosion of air, the following instructions should be observed:

•The front fork with a built-in piston rod has a very sophisticated internal construction and is particularly sensitive to foreign material.

Use enough care not to allow any foreign material to come in when the oil is replaced or when the front fork is disassembled and reassembled.

•Before removing the cap bolts or front forks, be sure to extract the air from the air chamber completely.
