Front fork adjusters
The front fork can be adjusted in rebound, compression and
preload.
The settings are adjusted by way of external adjuster screws:
1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 44.1 and fig. 44.2);
2) to adjust inner spring preload (fig. 44.1 and fig. 44.2);
3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 45.1 and fig. 45.2).
Park the motorcycle in a stable position on its side stand.
To set rebound damping, turn the top adjuster (1) on each fork
leg with a small flat screwdriver (1098) or wrench (1098S).
As you turn the adjusting screws (1 and 3), you will hear them
click. Each click identifies a setting. The maximum damping is
obtained with the adjuster fully tightened to the “0” position.
Start with this position and turn counterclockwise. Count the
screw clicks, which correspond to position 1, 2 and so forth.
