Spring Preload Adjustment
The spring preload is adjusted by turning the 19 mm anodized
hex nut (B) located on top of the fork spring.
Note: When adjusting preload, always start from the minimum
setting and adjust each fork leg evenly.
•
Turning the adjustment nut clockwise increases the spring
preload and reduces sag of the front suspension.
•
Turning the adjustment nut counter-clockwise decreases the
spring preload and increases sag of the front suspension.
Rebound Damping
The rebound damping is adjusted by turning the slotted adjuster
screw (A) on the top of both fork legs. Next to the screw are the
letters “H” meaning
Hard ( MAX , which is for slower rebound)
and “S” meaning Soft ( MIN , which is for faster rebound). This
determines how quick the fork returns to its extended position
after being compressed.
•
Turning the rebound adjuster screw clockwise slows the
rebound speed down making it better for larger rolling terrain
or bumps.
•
Turning the rebound adjuster screw counter-clockwise
increases the rebound speed making it better for smaller
more frequent bumps. Adjust each fork leg equally.
CAUTION: Adjusters should never be forced completely “Soft”
or “Hard”; always leave one click of adjustment in either
direction.
