Front fork adjusters (fig. 28 and fig. 29)
The front fork has rebound, compression damping and
spring preload adjusters.
This adjustment is done using the outer adjusters:
1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 28);
2) to adjust spring preload (fig. 28);
3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 29).
Place the vehicle on the side stand and ensure it is stable.
Turn the adjuster (1) on fork leg top with a 3 mm Allen
wrench to adjust rebound damping.
Turn the adjuster (3) on the rear end of fork lugs with a 3
mm Allen wrench to adjust compression damping.
As you turn the adjusters (1) and (3), you will hear them
click. Each click identifies a setting. Turn the adjuster fully
in to set the hardest damping (position 0). This will be your
starting point. Now turn the adjuster anticlockwise and
listen for the clicks that identify setting positions no. 1, 2
and so on, or measure the amount of angular rotation.
