Carefully read 0.5.1 (PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATIONS). 2.24.1 FRONT SUSPENSION The front suspension consists of an hydraulic fork connected to the steering column by means of two plates. The standard setting of the front fork is adjusted in such a way as to be suitable for most driving conditions, at high and low speed, for the transport of the rider with luggage. For the maintenance intervals, see 2.1.1 (REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART) under: – Suspensions and attitude; – Fork; – Fork oil; – Fork oil seals; – Nut, bolt, screw tightening. For the check, proceed as follows: ◆ With pulled front brake lever, press the handlebar repeatedly, thrusting the fork downwards. The stroke must be gentle and there must be no trace of oil on the rods. If the fork reaches the end of stroke, this means that it is necessary to check the oil level in the rods, see 7.8.1 (CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL). Make sure the fork does not feature oil leaks and that the outer surface of the tubes is not marked with scratches or grooves. If this is the case, replace all the damaged parts that cannot be repaired, see 7.8.4 (DISASSEMBLING THE SLIDER-TUBE ASSEMBLIES). ◆ Check the fastening of all the components and the functionality of the front suspension joints.
