Calibrador de nível de óleo de suspensão | Dica do Mestre - FERRAMENTAS

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on how to use an oil level calibrator for suspension systems, as demonstrated in the video from Escola Mestre das Motos. Understanding how to properly calibrate oil levels is essential for maintaining optimal performance in motorcycle suspensions.

Step 1: Gather Necessary Tools

Before starting, ensure you have the following tools at hand:

• Oil level calibrator
• Appropriate oil for your suspension
• Clean container for measuring oil
• Funnel (if needed)
• Rags or paper towels for cleanup

Step 2: Prepare the Suspension

• Position the Motorcycle: Make sure the motorcycle is on a flat surface and is upright to get an accurate oil level measurement.
• Remove the Fork Cap: Use the appropriate tool to gently loosen and remove the fork cap. Be cautious, as there may be pressure built up in the suspension.

Step 3: Measure Oil Level

• Insert the Calibrator: Place the oil level calibrator into the fork tube. Ensure it is fully inserted to get an accurate reading.
• Check the Oil Level: Look at the markings on the calibrator to determine the current oil level. Take note of this measurement.

Step 4: Add or Remove Oil

• Adding Oil:
  • Use the funnel to pour oil into the fork tube slowly.
  • Continuously check the oil level with the calibrator until it reaches the desired measurement.
• Removing Oil:
  • If the oil level is too high, you may need to siphon out excess oil using a clean container or a syringe.
  • Re-check the level with the calibrator after each adjustment.

Step 5: Finalize the Setup

• Reinstall the Fork Cap: Once the oil level is correct, carefully reinstall the fork cap, ensuring it is tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
• Wipe Down: Clean any spilled oil with rags or paper towels to prevent slipping or other issues.

Conclusion

Calibrating the oil level in a motorcycle's suspension is a straightforward process that requires attention to detail. Following these steps will help ensure your suspension operates smoothly and effectively.
