The standard settings of front forks are
selected to meet various riding conditions
such as low to high motorcycle speed and
light to heavy load on the motorcycle.
The front forks settings can be adjusted
for your preference and fine-tuning.
The rebound and compression damping
force can be individually adjusted by turn-
ing the respective adjusters. The rebound
damping force adjuster
①
is located at the
top of the front fork. The compression
damping force adjuster
②
is located at the
bottom of the front fork.
To adjust the damping force turn in the
adjuster fully for “S” or “H” direction.
Count the number of clicks from the fully
turned-in position.
Fully turned-in “H” direction provides
stiffest damping force and turning “S” direc-
tion the adjuster will soften damping force.
The rebound and compression damping
force is set on “Solo riding standard (refer
to below chart)” position at the factory.
