Front Shock Absorber Inspection

  1. Remove the front shock absorber. (See FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER AND COIL SPRING REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .) (See FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER AND COIL SPRING DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY .)
  2. Inspect for damage and oil leakage.
  3. Compress and extend the shock absorber piston rod at least three times at a steady rate. From the fourth compression stroke, verify that the operational force does not change and that there is no unusual noise.
    • If there is any malfunction, replace the front shock absorber.
