Application Area |
(1) Install SST (09727-58030) to the end of the shock rod of the front shock absorber assembly.[#1]
(2) Install SST (09727-58010) to the front shock absorber assembly.[#2]
NOTICE:
Take due care when installing SST (09727-58010) to ensure the shock rod is not damaged.
(3) Secure the SST (09727-58010) bolt and SST (09727-58030) with the fixing nut.[#3]
(4) After securing the SST (09727-58010) bolt, rotate the nut clockwise.[#4]
NOTICE:
Extend the shock rod until SST (09727-58100) and SST (09727-58130) separate from the shock absorber outer shell.
(5) Using a long ball hexagon 5, remove SST (09727-58100) and SST (09727-58130).[#5]
NOTICE:
If SST (09727-58100) and SST (09727-58130) are removed without using SST (09727-58010), the action of the rebound spring will cause the shock rod to contract suddenly. Therefore, remove SST (09727-58100) and SST (09727-58130) after securing the shock rod with SST (09727-58010).
(6) Using a piece of cloth, etc., clean the shock rod of the front shock absorber assembly and remove any foreign matter and oil.
NOTICE:
If the shock rod is expanded/contracted while foreign matter or oil are still present, it may damage the front shock absorber assembly or cause oil leaks.
(7) After securing the SST (09727-58010) bolt, rotate the nut counterclockwise.
(8) Check that the shock rod and SST (09727-58030) have become free before releasing the fixing nut and removing SST (09727-58010) from the end of the shock rod.
NOTICE:
Take due care when removing SST (09727-58010) to ensure the shock rod is not damaged.
(9) Remove SST (09727-58030) from the end of the shock rod.
(10) Using a piece of cloth, etc., clean the end of the shock rod threads and remove any foreign matter and oil.
