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
To increase the rebound damping
force and thereby harden the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw on
each fork leg in direction (a). To de-
crease the rebound damping force and
thereby soften the rebound damping,
turn the adjusting screw on each fork
leg in direction (b).

To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the com-

screw on each fork leg in direction (a).
To decrease the compression damp-
ing force and thereby soften the com-
pression damping, turn the adjusting
screw on each fork leg in direction (b).
