8-26 CHASSIS INSTALLATION Install the front fork in the reverse order of removal. Pay atten- tion to the following points: • Set the upper surface of the outer tube height A at 4.0 mm (0.157 in) from the upper surface of the steering stem upper bracket and tighten the front fork lower clamp bolts 1 to the specified torque. Front fork lower clamp bolt: 23 N·m (2.3 kgf-m, 16.5 lb-ft) • Tighten the front fork cap bolt 2 to the specified torque and recheck the front fork outer tube upper surface height A from the upper surface of the steering stem upper bracket. Front fork cap bolt: 23 N·m (2.3 kgf-m, 16.5 lb-ft) • Position the handle bears on the upper bracket. (8-38) • Tighten the front fork upper clamp bolts 3 and handlebar E clamp bolts 4. L Front fork upper clamp bolt: 23 N·m (2.3 kgf-m, 16.5 lb-ft) Handlebar clamp bolt: 23 N·m (2.3 kgf-m, 16.5 lb-ft) P • Remount the front wheel. (8-15) M • Cable routing (10-21) • Front brake hose routing (10-25) A S SUSPENSION SETTING After installing the front fork, adjust the spring pre-load and damping force as follows. SPRING PRE-LOAD ADJUSTMENT 1 0 There are five grooved lines on the side of the spring adjuster. 2 3 Position 0 provides the maximum spring pre-load and position 5 4.5 4 5 provides the minimum spring pre-load. STD position: 4 DAMPING FORCE ADJUSTMENT Compression damping force Fully turn the damping force adjuster 1 clockwise. It is at stiffest position and turn it out to standard setting position. (For E-02, 19): 6 clicks out from stiffest position (For E-03, 24, 28, 33): 14 clicks out from stiffest position
