Bold reference numbers in this section identify parts not shown in the figures alongside the text, but which can be found in the exploded view diagram.

Not all the components described in this chapter are available as individual replacement parts: however they are indicated for clearer explanation of the procedure.

The specific tools for the revision of the fork, are described in Sect. 3 - 4, Specific tools for the frame.

Fit the service tool part no. 88713.0957, engaging its pins (A) in the spring retainer holes, and secure in place with the screw (B).

Fit service tool part no. 88713.0958 and screw it onto the damper rod.

Remove the service tool part no. 88713.0957 and slide out the preload tube (12).

To separate the outer tube (18) from the inner tube (6), pull the inner tube sharply outwards repeatedly to gradually displace the bottom bush (G).

To separate the outer tube (18) from the inner tube (19), pull the inner tube sharply outwards repeatedly to gradually displace the bottom bush (G).

Inspect the outer surfaces of both fork inner tubes and the internal surfaces of both outer tubes. They must be free from scoring, steps, or dents.

Hold the left fork leg assembly (2) in a vertical position and fill with fork oil, using 500±2,5 CC of the specific oil.

This distance should be 81 mm.

Fit service tool part no. 88713.0957 (previously used for removal) into the lateral hole of the spring retainer (12).

Remove service tool no. 88713.0958.

Using a hexagon wrench, hold the rebound damping adjuster and tighten the top cap to 30 to 40 Nm.

Remove the spacer (C) by pushing the tool part no. 88713.0957 downwards.

Lift the outer tube (18) and tighten the top cap (7) to a torque of 30 to 40 Nm.

Inspect the outer surfaces of both fork inner tubes and the internal surfaces of both outer tubes. They must be free from scoring, steps, or dents.

Hold the left fork leg assembly (2) in a vertical position and fill with fork oil, using 538±2.5 CC of the specific oil.

Refit the top cap (7) complete with nut (13), rubber bush (15), bush (20), spring and complete damper assembly (17) on the outer tube (18) and tighten to the specified torque.

Position the legs (2) and (1). If they were removed, grease the thread and the underside of the screws (24) and (25) and place them in their seats.

Tighten the screws (24) to a torque of 24 Nm ±5% and the screws (25) to a torque of 22 Nm ±5% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings) in the sequence 1-2-1.
