in direction (a).
Re b oun d d ampin g force
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).
TIP

When adjusting the damping force
settings, turn the adjuster in direc-
tion (a) until it stops, and then
count the number of turns in direc-
tion (b).

Although a damping force adjust-
er may turn beyond the stated
minimum settings, such adjust-
ments are ineffective and may
damage the suspension.
