1. Remove the rubber cap by pulling
it out of the front fork leg.
2. To increase the compression
damping force and thereby hard-
en the compression damping, turn
the adjusting screw on each fork
leg in direction (a). To decrease
the compression damping force
and thereby soften the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting
screw on each fork leg in direction
(b).
3. Install the rubber cap.
TIP
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above
specifications due to small differences
in production, the actual number of
clicks always represents the entire ad-
justing range. To obtain a precise ad-
justment, it would be advisable to
check the number of clicks of each
damping force adjusting mechanism
and to modify the specifications as
necessary.
