## Front Forks/Steering

# G

9 | On 1971 and later models, tighten the stem nut to 15 Ib/ft (207 kg/m) and tap over the stem nut tab washer.
10 | Again lift the large chrome top bolts, firstly to add oil and secondly to connect the damper rods. Measure the required quantity of oil for each fork log (150 cc of SAE 20). Pouring the oil into the leg will prove a long operation. To speed up the filling operation, pour in as much of the measured quantity as possible, place the hand firmly over the top of the main tube and extend the fork leg. Do this several times to speed up oil drainage into the slider. When the measured quantity has been added, and with the instrument case held in position, connect the damper rod to the chrome bolt as in Fig. G7. Using a socket wrench on the chrome bolts, tighten to 40 Ibs/ft (5.83 kg/m).
11 | Disc Brake Models. Secure the master cylinder to the right switch cluster with the four long screws.
12 | Disc Brake Models. Bolt the caliper assembly to the right fork slider using two bolts and washers tightened to a torque setting of 25 ft/lbs (3.45 kg/m). Fit the hydraulic hose bracket over the studs on the right slider.
13 | Fit the front fender, securing with four plain 5 washers and nuts at the bridge stay and one bolt and plain washer at the fork end of each stay.
14 | Refit the front wheel as in Section H6 or H8.
15 | Disc Brake Models. Clip the hydraulic hose to 5~ the right fork top cover (two spring clips), feed the front brake stop switch leads through the stop switch cover one at a time and connect the Lucas terminals at the stop switch.

On disc brake models, it is vital to "pump" the front brake lever several times after the wheel has been removed to restore brake pressure before the brake is used.
