TYPICAL- RING TYPE
1. Spring preload adjustment ring
2. Increase preload
3. Decrease preload
NOTICE
Make sure that both front
springs are still pre-loaded when
front of vehicle is off the ground.
Front Shock Compression Damping
Low Speed Compression Damping
Low speed compression damping con-
trols how the shock absorber reacts to
a low suspension velocity (slow com-
pression strokes, in most cases when
riding at lower speeds).
ACTION RESULT
Increasing
low speed
compression
damping force Firmer
compression
damping (slow
compression)
Decreasing
low speed
compression
damping force Softer
compression
damping (slow
compression)
To adjust, turn clockwise to increase
damping force and counterclockwise
to decrease damping force.

1. Low speed compression damping adjuster
(slot or knob)
High Speed Compression Damping
High speed compression damping
controls how the shock absorber re-
acts to a high suspension velocity
(quick compression strokes, in most
cases when riding at higher speeds).
ACTION RESULT
Increasing

compression
damping force Firmer

To adjust, turn clockwise to increase
damping force and counterclockwise
to decrease damping force.
