Mounting Instructions

Put the bike om a stand so the front wheel

has ground clearance. Make sure it´s

steadily positioned and will not fall over.

Remove the front wheel, protecting cov-

ers and the brake caliper. Let the caliper

stay fitted to the brake hose.

Loosen and remove the fork legs

Fit the Öhlins fork legs to the triple clamps.

Put the wheel back in position. Reassem-

ble the brake and fit the hose holder.

NOTE!

Another way to adjust the front legs is

to rotate the front wheel as fast as

possible and bring it to a fast stop by

braking. This will bring the legs in cor-

rect position

NOTE!

The clamps mustn´t be overtightendet.

There is a risk to deform the fork leg

tubes. See the motorcycles Workshop

manual for correct torque.

Let the motorcycle stand on the ground

and compress the front suspension as

hard as possible a couple of times. This

will align the fork legs.

NOTE!

Do not tighten the front wheel axle

before the front legs are aligned. (6)

Tighten the wheel axle and check that all

items are tightened to correct torque. See

the motorcycles workshop manual.

The front fork

legs must be

aligned before

the front wheel

axle is tightned
