Oil level adjustment
Compared with conventional type of front 
forks, the upside down front forks are very 
sensitive to variations in oil level. Therefore, 
adjust the oil level with special care.
  
A change in the fork oil level will not affect 
the spring force at the beginning of the fork 
travel, but will have a great effect at the 
end of the travel.
When the oil level is raised:
The air spring in the later half stage of 
travel is stronger, and make the front forks 
more progressive.
When the oil level is lowered:
The air spring of the travel is lessened, and 
thus the front fork less progressive.  The 
oil level works most efficient at the end of 
the fork travel. Air spring characteristics 
shown, is a general card description to un-
derstand the difference when the oil level is 
changed.
NOTE!
Adjust the oil level in mm according to the 
fi gure with the fork leg fully compressed. 
For the right oil-level, please see the speci-
fi cation card.
Air spring characteristics
Air inside the front fork works as a spring. 
The graph at the bottom of the page shows 
the spring force related to stroke when the 
oil level is changed between 140 mm and 
200 mm. Standard oil level is 180 mm.
