ADJUSTING THE FRONT FORK LEGS
WARNING
EWA19180
• Always adjust the left and right front forks
evenly. If this is not done, the vehicle may
have poor stability.
• Securely support the vehicle so that there
is no danger of it falling over.
Rebound damping
NOTICE
ECA24340
Do not turn the adjuster forcibly beyond its
adjusting range.
1. Adjust:
• Rebound damping
a. Turn the adjuster “1” in the direction of “a”
or “b” to make an adjustment.
TIP
Although the total number of clicks of a damping
force adjusting mechanism may not exactly
match the above specifications due to small dif-
ferences 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 number of clicks of
each damping force adjusting mechanism and
to modify the specifications as necessary.
