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. 42);
2) to adjust inner spring preload (fig. 42);
3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 43).
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 using the special wrench.
As you turn the adjusters (1 and 3), you will hear them click.
Each click corresponds to different damping 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 clicks, which
correspond to position 1, 2 and so forth.
