Rebound damping
NOTICE
ECA13590
Never go beyond the maximum or minimum
adjustment positions.
1. Adjust:
• Rebound damping
a. Turn the adjusting bolt “1” in direction “a”
or “b”.
TIP
• Although the total number of clicks of a damp-
ing 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 adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment, check
the number of clicks and modify the minimum
and standard specifications as necessary.
• When turning the damping force adjusting bolt
in direction “a”, the 0 click position and the 1
click position may be the same.
