Compression damping force
To adjust the compression damping
force (for fast compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (a). To de-
crease the compression damping force
and thereby soften the compression
damping, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).
To adjust the compression damping
force (for slow compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (a). To de-
crease the compression damping force
and thereby soften the compression
damping, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).
TIP
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.
1. Compression damping force adjusting bolt
(for fast compression damping)
Compression damping setting (for
fast compression damping):
Minimum (soft):
4 turn(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
2 turn(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
0 turn(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting bolt fully turned in
direction (a)
1. Compression damping force adjusting bolt
(for slow compression damping)
Compression damping setting (for
slow compression damping):
Minimum (soft):
20 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
15 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting bolt fully turned in
direction (a)
