Prior to reassembly, wash all parts very
thoroughly in gasoline (petrol) and allow to dry.
Examine for wear on the fork bushes and main tube.
Check that the damper valve and stop pin are
undamaged and that the damper rod is not bent. When
all parts are sound, proceed to reassemble as
follows:

If the lower bush on the main tube has been
removed, fit a new bush and refit the circlip
ensuring that it is bedded well all round.
|
|

Grip the damper rod in a vice and fit the damper
valve stop pin. The order of assembly is shown in
Fig. G5.
|
|

At the peg end of the damper rod assemble the
damper valve, lip end down (when in the vice)
followed by the squared washer and nut which must
be tightened securely.
|

Assemble the damper rod to the damper tube then
fit and secure the damper tube alloy cap.
|

Place the spring over the damper rod and secure

Place the fibre washer over the end of the
damper tube and offer the damper tube assembled, to

bolt.
|
|

Smear the main tube with clean oil then enter it
into the slider.
