defect in the fork airpump or the fork.
Observe the accompanying instructions for Husq-
varna Motorcycles accessories.

Adjust the air pressure as specified.
Guideline

Info

Never adjust the air pressure to a value outside the
stated range.

Disconnect the fork airpump from the left fork leg.

When disconnecting, excess pressure will escape from
the hose

the fork leg itself does not lose any air.

The fork airpump indicator switches off automatically
after 80 seconds.

Mount the protection cap.

Info

Only mount the protection cap by hand.
