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.

force
The rebound damping force is adjust-
ed on the right front fork leg only.
To increase the rebound damping for-
ce 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 turns or clicks in direc-
tion (b).
Although a damping force adjust-
er may turn or click beyond the
stated minimum settings, such
adjustments are ineffective and
may damage the suspension.
When turning a damping force ad-
juster in direction (a), the 0 click
position and the 1 click position
may be the same.
