How to change the handlebar position
The handlebar position can be readjusted by 22 mm. Thus, you can put the
handlebar in the position that is the most convenient for you. The upper tri-
ple clamp
1 includes 2 bores arranged at a distance of 15 mm (0.6 in) from
one another. The bores at the handlebar support
2 are offset from the cen-
ter by 3.5 mm (0.13 in). Accordingly, you can mount the handlebar in
4 different positions.
For this purpose, remove screws
3 of the handlebar clamps and screws 4
of the handlebar support. Position the handlebar support, and tighten scr-
ews
4 to 40 Nm (30 ft.lbs). Mount the handlebar and handlebar clamps,
and tighten screws
3 to 20 Nm (15 ft.lbs). The gap between the handlebar
support and the handlebar clamps should be the same size in the front and
in the rear.
WARNING
T
HE SCREWS 4 MUST BE SECURED WITH LOCTITE 243.
Breather plug front fork
After every 5 hours of use for competitive racing, slacken the breather
plugs
5 a few turns in order to relieve excess pressure from the inside of
the fork. To do this, place the motorcycle on a stand with the front wheel
lifted off the ground. When riding the motorcycle mainly on the road, it will
suffice to have this job performed in the course of the periodical mainte-
nance service.

CAUTION
!
E
XCESSIVE PRESSURE IN THE INTERIOR OF THE FORK CAN CAUSE LEAKS IN THE FORK. IF
YOUR FORK IS LEAKING
, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO OPEN THE BREATHER PLUGS BEFORE
HAVING THE SEALS REPLACED
.
Cleaning the dust sleeves of the telescopic fork
The dust-protection bellows 6 are to remove dust and coarse dirt particles
from the fork tube. However, after some time, dirt may also get in behind
the dust-protection bellows. If this dirt is not removed, the oil sealing rings
located behind it may start to leak.
Use a screwdriver to lift the dust-protection bellows out of the outer tubes
and slide them downward.
Clean the dust-protection bellows, outer tubes, and fork tubes thoroughly,
and oil them thoroughly with silicone spray or engine oil. Then, push the
dust-protection bellows into the outer tubes by hand.
