Check the front suspension cylinders against the dimensions from the last time that you performed the charging procedure. If you do not have those dimensions, the following dimension can be a guideline.
- The exposed chrome of the cylinder should be
169.9 ± 6.4 mm (6.69 ± 0.25 inch) .
Note: If the height of the front cylinder is NOT within the acceptable range, perform the charging procedure. See Testing And Adjusting, "Suspension Cylinder (Front) - Purge and Charge" for the charging procedure.
Note: There is a relief valve on the forward side of the front suspension cylinder. This relief valve is located 180 degrees from the lubrication fitting. Do not plug the grease passage of the relief valve.
