The oil must stay above the 4
holes of the inner-tube, if
necesarry fill some extra oil in
the forkleg.
Move the piston rod (keep the

adjustment tube on his place)
several times up and down, till
you feel that the cartridge is
12_208 full with oil, (the damping is
smooth over the entire stroke)
mostly it is necesarry to fill
some (not too much) extra oil in
the forkleg.
Now compress the piston rod and
outer-tube fully down, and fill
the forkleg with oil till about
25mm under the 4 holes of the
inner-tube. Move the piston rod
