Inspect front shock absorbers periodically – replace immediately if damage or failure is found.

Regularly clean the outer tubes of the front forks.

Shock absorbers provide cushioning against bumps, enhancing comfort and control. Check for oil leaks, cracks or bent tubes. Ensure rubber bushings and gaskets are intact. Confirm smooth action by compressing fork – sticking indicates need for oil change or rebuild.

Lubricate suspension pivots and check torque on mounting hardware during routine maintenance. Keep outer tubes clean to avoid seal damage from grit. Well-maintained shocks provide safe, stable rides.
