Suzuki DR-Z400S Front Fork Exploded Diagram - Parts Legend & Torque Specs
Exploded parts diagram of a front fork assembly with numbered components and a bolt torque specification table.
This document is an exploded parts diagram of a motorcycle front fork assembly, labeled "FORK," uploaded to a 2005 Suzuki DR-Z400S gallery. The illustration shows the complete disassembly of one fork leg, with 21 numbered components identified in a legend: O-rings, fork spring, damper rod ring, damper rod, rebound spring, dust seal, stopper ring, oil seal, oil seal retainer, inner tube antifriction metal, inner tube, outer tube antifriction metal, clamps, boot, oil lock piece, holder, outer tube, end plate, and additional O-rings. Two fasteners are called out with letters: Ⓐ the front fork cap bolt and Ⓑ the front fork damper rod bolt. A tightening torque table specifies 23 N·m (2.3 kgf-m, 16.5 lb-ft) for the front fork cap bolt and 80 N·m (8.0 kgf-m, 58.0 lb-ft) for the front fork damper rod bolt. A reader can use this page to identify the order and orientation of all internal fork components during teardown and reassembly and to apply the correct torque values to the two critical fork bolts. The document itself does not state a model or year; the conventional (non-cartridge) fork with rubber boot suggests it may not exactly match the claimed DR-Z400S.
