Change the fork oil is an operation often underestimated, but that can drastically improve the performance of a road vehicle.
need:
- fork oil viscosity and characteristics required by the owner's manual and maintenance
- Una vaschetta per l'olio esausto
- Un supporto su cui poggiare la moto per lasciare libera la forcella
- Un compressore e relativo manometro per regolare l'aria da pompare nella forcella
- Una chiave dinamometrica per il serraggio delle viti
Per prima cosa rimuovere i tappi posti al di sopra degli steli. Ogni Fork has caps on the sides, half-height, which serve as a check valve to the air.
Then click on the valves so that air can get out of the stems. would be good to also loosen the bolts holding the fork before removing the caps on the fork inner tubes.
the base of each stem there is an additional valve, screw or drain. Removing this oil will come out. Is located at the hub of the wheel. To speed up the operation can be alternately compress and stretch the legs out doing so the residual oil. It 'an unwise, could damage the inner surface of the stems and cause to subsequent leakage. This is rather effective when it is necessary to distribute the oil just spilled obviously observing due care.
The oil is also a good opportunity to check the wear of the screw and O-ring of the vent cap cover of each stem. If damaged or if the seals on the case would not close completely replace them.The bolts should be closed with a specific torque, shown in the handbook. The last thing you need to pump the air in the forks, the pressure shown in the booklet. Then you can adjust the suspension through the air pressure using a pressure gauge, always leaving Free the front. Again, follow the instructions of the owner's handbook.
