damping, turn the adjusting screw on
each fork leg in direction
a
. To de-
crease the rebound damping force and
thereby soften the rebound damping,
turn the adjusting screw on each fork
leg in direction
b
.

Compression damping force
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting screw
on each fork leg in direction
a
. To de-
crease the compression damping force
and thereby soften the compression
damping, turn the adjusting screw on
each fork leg in direction

CAUTION:
@
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum
or minimum settings.

NOTE:
@
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment,
it would be advisable to check the num-
ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.
