| 2. | Fill with TYPE E FORK OIL following the the instructions found in the Service Manual. | |
| 3. | Install the front fork and any parts that were removed to access the front forks following the instructions in the appropriate Service Manual. NOTE The front reflectors located on both sides of the original fork sliders must be removed, cleaned and installed on the new chrome fork sliders. | |
| WARNING Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 requires motorcycles to be equipped with rear and side reflectors. Be sure rear and side reflectors are properly mounted. Poor visibility of rider to other motorists can result in death or serious injury. (00336b) | ||
| 4. | Using a piece of dental floss (or similar material) in a back and forth motion, loosen the reflector from the fork slider at both ends. Rotate the reflector from side to side until it can be removed from the fork slider. Retain the reflector for installation to the new slider. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side fork slider. | |
