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).
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The shorter
distance A is, the higher the spring pre-
load; the longer distance A is, the lower
the spring preload.

The rebound damping force is adjust-
ed on the right front fork leg only.
To increase the rebound damping
force and thereby harden the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in
direction (a). To decrease the rebound
damping force and thereby soften the
rebound damping, turn the adjusting
screw in direction (b).
