PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-49

Periodic Maintenance Procedures

•

Push the bladder into the gas reservoir slowly until it just

clears the circlip groove. Wipe out any spilled oil.

CAUTION

Ensure that no air remains in the system.

•

Check the circlip for weakening, deformity and flaws.

If necessary, replace it with a new one.

CAUTION

If weakened, deformed or flawed circlip is used, the

gas reservoir cap may not hold when injecting the

nitrogen gas. This would allow oil and internal parts

to explode out of the reservoir.

•

Mount the c irclip [A] in the groove in the gas reservoir.

•

Pull up the gas reservoir cap [A] against the circlip. The

end of the gas reservoir cap must align [ B] with the end

of the gas reservoir [C].

WARNING

If the end of the gas reservoir cap and the end of

the gas reservoir are not aligned, the circlip is not

correctly fitting in the groove in the gas reservoir or

is deformed. In this case, the oil and internal parts

could explode out of the reservoir when injecting

the nitrogen gas or while riding the motorcycle.
