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
