REBOUND ADJUSTMENT VIA
INNER PUMPING ROD
The adjuster controlling REBOUND damp-
ing adjustment is accommodated inside
pumping rod
(10)
inside each fork leg.
To access the adjuster, unscrew the top cap
(5)
and push the stanchions fully down (see
section DISASSEMBLY,
Fig
.
1
).
Fit the supplied hexagon rod
(C)
into the
stanchion tube and into the adjuster inner
hole. Rotate the adjuster clockwise for harder
damping, counterclockwise to soften it.
Refit the cap
(5)
and tighten it to the
specified torque (see section REASSEM-
BLY,
Fig. 24
).
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove the springs
or this will alter the amount of oil inside the
fork legs.
ADJUSTMENT
SPRING PRELOAD
Take off the rubber protection
(2)
.
To change preload, turn the screw
(4)
inside cap
(5)
using a 4 mm Allen wrench.
Turn out the screw
(4)
completely, then
tighten it until it touches the upper washer
(7)
. From this starting position, which cor-
responds to “0” preload, turn in as many
turns as the preload you want. Each turn
corresponds to 1.25 mm.
When supplied, the fork is set to the mini-
mum preload. However, spring is slightly
preloaded to counteract static loads. By
turning the adjustment screw clockwise, the
preload is increased up to the maximum
value equal to 15 mm’s of spring preload.
This adjustment is essential in order to have
the right fork response for the rider’s weight
and riding style.
