NOTE:
The compression damping force set-
ting is determined by measuring dis-
tance A, shown in the illustration. The
longer distance A is, the higher the
compression damping force; the short-
er distance A is, the lower the compres-
sion damping force.
To adjust the compression damping
force (for slow compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (a). To de-
crease the compression damping force
and thereby soften the compression
damping, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).
CAUTION:
ECA10100
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum or
minimum settings.
NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences 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 num-
ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.
1. Distance A
Compression damping setting (for
fast compression damping):
Minimum (soft):
Distance A = 8 mm (0.31 in)
Standard:
Distance A = 10 mm (0.39 in)
Maximum (hard):
Distance A = 12 mm (0.47 in)
Compression damping setting (for
slow compression damping):
Minimum (soft):
16 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
10 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting bolt fully turned in
direction (a)
