Adjusting the front fork
This front fork is equipped with spring
preload adjusting bolts, rebound damp-
ing force adjusting screws, compres-
sion damping force adjusting bolts (for
fast compression damping) and com-
pression damping force adjusting bolts
(for slow compression damping).
WARNING
EWA10180
Always adjust both fork legs equal-
ly, otherwise poor handling and loss
of stability may result.
Spring preload
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting bolt on each fork leg in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).
NOTE:
Align the appropriate groove on the ad-
justing mechanism with the top of the
front fork collar.
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw on each
fork leg in direction (a). To decrease the
rebound damping force and thereby
soften the rebound damping, turn the
adjusting screw on each fork leg in di-
rection (b).
