Maintenance
Telescopic front forks depend on a smooth, friction
free action.
Make sure your forks are regularly serviced.
Do not use strong solvents, such as brake
cleaner, to clean the front forks. This will dry out
the seals and the steel tubes and cause friction
or leakage.
After every race
Clean externally and spray with an all-purpose
oil after washing with detergent.
Check externally for damage.
Put a little Öhlins red grease (146-01) on the steel
tubes and work it in by pushing the fork up
and down.
Every 20 hours
Dismantle the fork and check all parts for wear
and damage, replace if necessary.
NOTE!
Discarded Öhlins products should be handled
over to an authorized work shop or distributor for
proper disposal.
