Front fork adjusters
The front fork can be adjusted for rebound, compression and
spring 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 sidestand.
To adjust the rebound damping setting, turn the adjuster (1)
on the top of each fork leg with a flat-blade screwdriver
(1098) or the special wrench (1098 - 1098S Tricolore).
As you turn the adjusting screws (1 and 3), you will hear
them click. Each click identifies a setting. The stiffest
damping setting is obtained with the adjuster turned fully
clockwise to the “0” position. Start with this position and
turn counterclockwise. Count the screw clicks, which
correspond to position “1”, “2” and so forth.
